No Blue Print, but

- Principles

- Lessons learned

- New discourse (narrative)

- On multiple-levels

Simulation for design and assessment

Combining flow diagrams and causal loop diagrams

CO-LEARNING

Using the ULL as a place to meet, discuss, foresight etc.

Including: Practitioners, scientists, policymakers, residents, market parties and governments etc.

Start with this at the initiation phase not after realization. It is

part of the transition design.

In practice: Analytical perspective and end-goal ‘learning’

always in mind

In research: Aware of practical difficulties of doing research.

Theory is interesting but not necessarily the reality

PROBLEMResearchers and practitioners often highlight the differences and

pitfalls of the other (don’t speak the same language) and forget to

look how to work complementary
