Scientific Research is the main component for the knowledge management as a support for the intelligent development of the urban systems.
Participatory knowledge leads to increased social cohesion and community inclusion. Innovation actions within FILL are based on the principles of participatory knowledge.
The complexity of current realities forces us to use systemic tools for understanding and structuring knowledge.
FILL is a living lab focused on the problems of urban systems, but it also develops synergies with actions and projects for the development of rural systems.
Multi-actor approaches are enhanced with the quadruple helix model of stakeholder collaboration.
FILL knowledge transfer activities are integrated in dynamic epistemic chains accordingly with the identified problems and needs.
All FILL actions and strategies are integrated in the RDRP Knowledge Ecosystem.
