ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at a full-fledged application of the 50+20 collaboratory as invented for Rio+20 and including a step-by-step approach through the entire process in all detail in order to be applied to other applications within a university, business or community situation.
Besides this useful step-by-step approach, another interesting element of this example is that it shows how to involve a large number of stakeholders in the facilitation of collaboratory events (in this case students). This may be of interest for collaboratories where it is important to assure a deep involvement of stakeholders.
The collaboratory described below took place in the semester-long master’s specialization course “Strategies for Sustainable Development” at the University of St. Gallen and was co-created by the two authors. 1
