	An online Living Lab was established as an informal space for dialogue among local administrations, cooperatives, associations and other stakeholders involved in the regional CER call. The meetings primarily functioned as a space for mutual exchange, peer comparison and reflection on ongoing difficulties and uncertainties, rather than as a technical or legal support service, as most participants were already assisted by their own consultants.

	In parallel, an on-site Living Lab was developed in Cento following the initiative of a small community of Augustinian nuns. The Living Lab provided facilitation support for participatory discussion processes, focusing in particular on enabling collective reflection and decision-making around the legal form and governance structure of the Renewable Energy Community, and fostering democratic deliberation and shared governance practices within the emerging community.
