This partnership aims to structure and support a network of living labs and research infrastructures accelerating the transition towards agroecology throughout Europe. These living labs and research infrastructures will support farmers in understanding and implementing agroecological practices at the scale needed for positive economic, environmental and social impacts. The European Commission chose the livings labs approach because agroecology is territory-bound and more important changes in ecosystems happen slowly so it is important to look at the same area over a longer period of time to determine the effects.
The partnership is supported by the standing committee on agricultural research (SCAR) which has been in existence since the seventies.

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
