Clear	Kick off Meeting of Santorini Blue Loop Living Lab (May 2026)The Santorini Blue Loop Living Lab Kick-off Meeting on 15 May marked the official launch of the Living Lab process in Santorini. It was designed as the first structured meeting with local stakeholders, bringing together local authorities, businesses, fishers, the educational community, civil society actors, European project partners, and active citizens. The meeting introduced the vision, objectives, structure, and planned activities of the Santorini Blue Loop Living Lab, while opening a first space for dialogue and co-creation around key challenges for the island, including marine pollution, sustainable tourism, water management, circular economy, blue economy, and community-based environmental action. Rather than serving only as a formal presentation event, the Kick-off Meeting acted as the starting point for long-term collaboration on the island. It helped establish a common understanding among stakeholders, identify shared priorities, and set the basis for future Living Lab actions, pilots, partnerships, and local engagement activities. In this sense, the 15 May meeting was the moment when the Santorini Blue Loop Living Lab moved from planning to implementation, activating Santorini as a real-life testing and collaboration space for circular, resilient, and community-driven island development.Meeting · Stakeholder Engagement · May 15, 2026 · 3 · 3 core · 30	Meeting	Santorini Living Lab	Completed	3 · 3 core	30

The session was organized as follows, where project managers • Identified patterns (similarities between the various obstacles identified). • Classified administrative barriers according to their nature (regulatory – legislation/regulations; procedural – process efficiency; organizational – resources or administrative management). • Performed an impact analysis: assessment of whether cases are isolated incidents or whether the barriers are widespread.Workshop · Co-creation of Actions · Jun 10, 2026 · 6 · 2 core · 11	Workshop	Gran Canaria Living Lab	Completed	6 · 2 core	11

Training Minka; engaging potential Blue Schools

15 participants were specifically trained to use Minka as an example of citizen science biodiversity data aggregator for collecting data and species identification

One of the Minka Blue Schools related event took place during summer biological camp for scholars from schools of Odesa and Bessarabia. The event took place in the period of 06-17.07.2026 in the vicinities of Novoarkhangelsk city (Kirovohrad region, Syniukha river valley) in a form of camp for more than 100 kids (5th-10th class). During this time one of the teams (15 participants) was specifically trained to use Minka as an example of citizen science biodiversity data aggregator for collecting data and species identification. Within this time, they were trained on how to make photos, upload them to the platform on both web site and web app, analyse the results and use them for possible creation of a new object of Nature Reserve Fund of Ukraine on the investigated territories. In this event, such stakeholders as Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group; Rewilding Ukraine and Danube Biosphere Reserve were involved and participated actively. As a result - more than 300 records and more than 10 new participants were added to Minka. In the end of the even - kind made a poster presentation of their results with corresponding referencing to the project.
