7th Croatian Living Lab meeting

The GRASS CEILING Croatian Living Lab kicks off 2025 with its seventh gathering of innovative women and local stakeholders.

As the new year begins, the Living Labs within our project are reactivating after the Christmas break.

The Croatian team was the first to do so, seizing this initial meeting of the year to maintain direct contact with local stakeholders. See the meeting agenda here.

Representatives from entities such as the Lika-Senj County Development Centre, the Croatian Chamber of Economy, the Ivo Pilar Institute of Social Sciences, the Croatian Employment Service (Gospić branch), the Lika-Senj County Development Agency, the company GTF-Initiative for Sustainable Growth, and Lika-Senj County itself, had the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of the Grass Ceiling project and, more specifically, how it is impacting rural Croatia through the group of women entrepreneurs participating in it.

Professor Natasa Bokan from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Zagreb was responsible for explaining the project’s content and the Living Lab methodology being implemented in various parts of the country.

This initial meeting spanned two days in January and included, among other activities, a visit to the Nikola Tesla Memorial Center. The gathering also served as an opportunity to share with all the women participating in the project the results of the 2nd showcase event, which took place in late November 2024 in Vilnius (Lithuania) and was attended by Inés Dundovic.

In the coming days, we will expand on this information with more details about everything discussed during this seventh meeting of the Croatian Living Lab of the Grass Ceiling project.
