ENoLL Network Changes
It has come to our attention that some members do not regularly receive the emails send by the ENoLL Secretariat account (info@enoll.org) if you suspect this might be happening to you please notify us. Due to this communication issue some of you might not be aware that the ENoLL network has been changing over the past months after we conducted a consolidation of our members. If you no longer see your Living Lab in the ENoLL member repository and are not aware of these changes please get in touch so we can explain how to keep your Living Lab active in the ENoLL network.
