What is ELABORATOR's Community of Practice?
The Community of Practice (CoP) is a forum for sharing and adapting urban interventions from our project's Lighthouse cities to the Follower cities. This primarily online community is made up of ELABORATOR project members, experts, and key local actors.
By co-designing and co-creating these interventions with relevant stakeholders such as vulnerable user groups, local authorities, and groups vulnerable to exclusion, among others, we aim to ensure that our initiatives address the real needs of citizens.
If you believe your expertise can contribute to this goal, we invite you to apply and become a member of the ELABORATOR Community of Practice.

What are the goals and outputs of the CoP?
Our goal is to create a supportive environment for defining and sharing urban interventions across ELABORATOR cities.
Key responsibilities of the CoP include providing support and feedback on:
-
Twinning of interventions: Develop and refine replication plans tailored to unique urban needs of ELABORATOR cities.
-
Validation and adaptation: Assess and improve urban mobility interventions and digital tools.
-
Implementation support: Guide and support the implementation process to ensure inclusivity, safety, and sustainability.
-
Knowledge Hub development: Contribute insights and feedback to enhance the ELABORATOR Knowledge Hub.
The CoP will meet quarterly, either online or in person, to discuss ongoing activities, address common challenges, and exchange solutions. Working group meetings will also be formed for each twinning group to tailor interventions to unique contexts.
Ways of working
-
Each ELABORATOR city will have internal members from their organizations and/or technical/supporting partners, along with external members.

Quarterly CoP meetings will be aligned with project milestones. These meetings will be primarily online.
-
Each meeting will cover project updates, review deployment needs, and develop replication plans.
