This deliverable D2.3 presents the implementation of IRISCC Service Design Labs (SDLs) as a co-design approach for developing transdisciplinary Knowledge Services addressing climate-related risks. SDLs bring together research infrastructure communities from the environmental, health, and social sciences with policy, industry, and civil society actors to co-create solutions with high relevance and implementation potential.
Service Design Lab #1 (SDL#1) strengthens science–practice collaboration within the Eisenwurzen LTSER platform by co-designing a stakeholder-driven framework for assessing land-use vulnerability to climate change. The Lab highlights the central role of land users within interconnected stakeholder networks and identifies key conditions for effective collaboration, including early engagement, high-quality participatory processes, and sustained communication.
Service Design Lab #2 (SDL#2) supports the Region of Crete in addressing drought, land degradation, and desertification through a participatory, science-informed process across the Water–Energy–Food–Ecosystem Nexus. The Lab integrates scientific evidence and local knowledge to co-design feasible, scalable, and transferable solutions with relevance for other Mediterranean regions.
