2.8.2_Catalogue of innovations grazed woodlands Lebanon
Having identified potentially useful innovations for Mediterranean grazed woodlands, the partners of LIVINGAGRO project developed a dedicated Catalogue intended to provide an overview of some of the innovations that may be useful to stakeholders involved with grazed woodlands in order to help bring together economic stakeholders and innovators who may be able to collaborate to solve common problems. This activity included assessing the stage of readiness of a potential innovation in Lebanon, as well as which type of challenges it addresses.
Taking into consideration the needs expressed by Lebanese stakeholders, the research team of the Regional Forest Agency for Land and Environment of Sardinia (Fo.Re.S.T.A.S.) in collaboration with the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI) and their technical teams reviewed the information provided. Following this review, the working group went back to the innovators to address questions and fill in gaps, then incorporated the responses into the innovation descriptions. The Catalogue includes innovations related to restoration and valorising landscapes and other ecosystems services and agronomy for sustainable agroforestry systems.

ACCESS TO NETWORKS, COLLABORATIONS & CONTACTS ANALYSIS REPORT ON THE CENTRALISATION OF DIGITAL DATABASES
The main objective of this report is to provide an analysis of the implementation of selected outputs within the 19 identified key projects under the theme of “Access to Networks, Collaborations, and Contacts”. The report is designed to support stakeholders in identifying, capitalizing on, and benefiting from existing outputs to enhance their work in relation to the identified theme.
RESET GUIDEBOOK OF PROJECT OUTPUTS
RESET focused on identifying, gathering, analysing and synthesising knowledge regarding how to best support
sustainable and green entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Throughout the process, RESET adopted a Capitalisation Framework aiming to define the methodology needed to
achieve the above-mentioned objective.
The Capitalisation Framework included the following questions:
1. Where is the knowledge?
2. What is the knowledge?
3. What knowledge is needed?
4. How to use the knowledge?
This Guidebook demonstrates how RESET responded to these questions through the various activities conducted
throughout the project
MEDUSA - Research and study of market demand, supply and competitiveness
The MEDUSA project, faced with the slowdown in tourism in the Mediterranean region, aimed to transform the tourism model into a sustainable and competitive model, addressing current sectoral challenges such as the predominance of mass seaside tourism, through the development of interventions to promote adventure tourism in the region.
This document is a study of market demand, supply and competitiveness.The methodology used was based upon the various actions designed by the MEDUSA project and it is structured in 5 blocks/actions:
- Action 1. Conceptualisation, identification of the characteristics and trends of adventure travel;
- Action 2. Technical factsheet with generic information on 5 relevant countries/markets;
- Action 3. Identification and analysis of tour operators of each country;
- Action 4. Analysis of products sold by tour operators;
- Action 5. Technical factsheet with key information and recommendations to design adventure.
MEDUSA - Benchmarking study on Sustainable Innovative practices of Adventure Tourism
Five countries (Spain, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Italy) and strong partners from those countries have joined forces to launch the MEDUSA project. The general objective of MEDUSA is to develop a competitive form of Adventure Tourism (AT) in the Mediterranean, which is based on environmental and economic sustainability values and that aspire to create more business opportunities and new jobs for the local communities.
The main purpose of the study is to identify and provide insight into innovative sustainable adventure (40%) and sustainable tourism practices (tourism models, products and services) carried out by and in tourism destinations, including destinations in the Mediterranean region and elsewhere in the world.
The document is organised into 4 chapters, with an introduction to the approach and concept of the study, the topic of adventure tourism, the benchmarking model and international practices from all over the world and finally a short conclusion on the assessed practices, practical recommendations on the lessons learned and further practical implementation in the destinations.

- Efficient system with the best quality for price ratio
- Innovative technology for treatment, monitoring of treated water &
valorisation of sludge
- Large potential of application in local context
MAIA TAQA Final Report
The MAIA-TAQA project, focused on developing and defining a range of innovative services in the field of resource efficiency (RE), has significantly advanced the cause of sustainability and resource efficiency within Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the Mediterranean countries and it has successfully executed demonstrator pilot projects in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. The achievements of these pilot projects have been showcased through various impactful initiatives. This final report illustrates the Pilot Implementation Analysis, the impact on innovative Resource Efficiency solutions (capacity building, the Innovation One Stop Shop initiative, B2B events), highlighting the challenges and lessons learned.
