ULALABS | CONNECTING LABS, CREATING CLIMATE SOLUTIONS
GOALS OF THE PROJECT:
- Create a European distributed Living Lab for urban and climate challenges
- Build collaborative Learning Communities across regions
- Enable cross-case and distributed learning among partners
- Produce best practices, toolkits, and guides for urban innovation
- Establish a sustainable network of open innovation labs
Background & Description:
The ULALABS project aims to define a theoretical and practical framework for the implementation and operation of a European distributed Living Lab focused on urban challenges and climate change; a "Lab of Labs" perceived as a shared and interconnected R+D+I infrastructure among HEI partners to promote transformative innovation policies within and among European regions through the articulation of open and collaborative Learning Communities and shared Agendas. ULALABS will centre its activities around the development of the Learning Communities as key elements of the distributed Living Lab model, offering support and learning opportunities during the project. The pilot programme will be the focus point of the activities that will allow the testing and demonstration of i) the potential for cross-case learning between partners, communities and regions, as well as ii) for Distributed learning, where shared knowledge is generated ad-hoc among partners
