Sustainability transitions require changes in the structures of the socio-technical systems that define our world. Some structures need to change into completely new roles and relations, and others may even disappear.
Value Network Mapping is a tool that supports processes to co-create such changes while balancing individual ambitions with practical constraints. Social, environmental, and economic conditions for implementing and scaling up such changes find their place in these maps; allowing global sustainable development goals to evolve from a shared vision to common practice. The fundamentals of Value Network Mapping, how and when to use it and its practical application will be uncovered during this workshop.

2021 Transitions Policy Lab
The European Green Deal is the EU’s strategy to move towards climate neutrality and circular economy by the transformative policy. That transformation requires the alignment of multiple stakeholders and instruments with existing regional innovation plans such as the Cohesion Policy. Policy mixes emerge with the purpose of reinforcing synergies and complementarities between EU, national and regional innovation initiatives.
The Transition Policy Lab addresses the goal of shifting practices for policymaking by removing barriers for enabling the necessary institutional change. It is aimed to build capacity to co-design and implement systemic strategies that can lead to potentially transformative policies and actions.
It consists of a series of five interrelated capacity-building activities implemented through three different formats multi-stakeholders setting, science-based training and executive programmes.
