Topic 1: Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets
IRI THESys is seeking to join interdisciplinary and multi-actor consortia addressing household-level dietary change through systemic, inclusive, and evidence-based approaches. We are particularly interested in collaborations with universities, public health institutes, NGOs, municipalities, Living Labs, SMEs, and citizen organisations working on sustainable diets, food environments, food literacy, and social innovation.
We are keen to contribute to concept development and proposal writing, especially on stakeholder engagement strategies, co-creation methodologies, Living Lab design, and the integration of social, cultural, and governance dimensions into dietary transitions.

IRI THESys at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, led by Dr. Ina Säumel, has a strong track record in inter- and transdisciplinary research on sustainable food systems, urban and regional food environments, and societal transformations. The Laboratory of Multifunctional Landscapes brings long-standing expertise in stakeholder involvement, knowledge co-production, participatory research design, and Living Lab implementation across diverse socio-cultural contexts.
The team has successfully coordinated and contributed to large European research and innovation projects such as EdiCitNet (H2020) and HEBEDI (Healthy and Biodiverse Edible Cities), demonstrating concrete impacts on food practices, community health, biodiversity, and policy uptake. Our work bridges household-level food practices with broader food environments, governance frameworks, and equity considerations, with particular attention to vulnerable groups and differentiated household needs.
IRI THESys contributes robust qualitative and mixed-method approaches to understand sociocultural drivers of food choices, food waste, and dietary habits, and translates this knowledge into actionable policy and practice-oriented outputs. The institute has extensive experience in adult education, capacity building, and citizen engagement, supporting long-term behavioural change toward sustainable and healthy diets.
Dr. Ina Säumel brings internationally recognised expertise in co-creation, Living Labs, urban and landscape ecology, and food system governance, with a proven ability to lead collaborative writing processes and integrate scientific excellence with real-world implementation.
