Transitioning to a sustainable, just, and stable society is necessary, on an unprecedented scale and speed. In many innovation projects, scientific programs, and municipal organizations, (urban) living labs are achieving good results.
But are these Labs well understood and well implemented? Are they solving the problems better, cheaper, more sustainable? What are actionable prescriptions? Are there tools that can be proven to work?
Building upon the common agenda and action plan established during the 2019 edition of the Urban Living Lab Summit - this year we will focus on showing and testing tools used in (big) projects, learning systems across labs and training, and teaching approaches for helping practitioners.
During the Summit we will address:
● What tools can be used for designing, measuring impact, collaborating, and learning within Living Labs?
● How have these tools been proven helpful for living labs to reach their goals?
● What are lessons/insights that have been learned by living lab practitioners during this Corona crisis?
