Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó is launching its ‘Living Labs’ initiative with two roadshow events that all students and staff are invited to.
Living Labs embeds sustainability through knowledge, engagement, collaboration and innovation. Within a Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó context they are an opportunity for staff and students to research and test sustainable solutions to real-world challenges using our facilities on campus.Â
Current examples of Living Labs are the vegan menu offers in the Terrace Café or the . Another is the Biodome which provides a year-round controlled climate so research can be carried out, and offers a permanent base for students and staff to conduct experiments into a range of forensic, ecological and wildlife projects. Â
The Living Labs roadshows are being held as we want to find out about all the brilliant ideas and concepts we know our students and staff have. Whether you have an idea for a new product or marketing campaign or would like to use data from the university grounds themselves for research, we want to hear from you.
The roadshows will introduce the Living Labs concept and share successful Living Labs projects at Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó. The event will involve presentations from those who have been involved with past projects, in addition to a collaborative workshop to suggest, discuss and maybe start a new project. It will be an excellent opportunity to meet and innovate with members of the Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó community.
The next roadshow will take place on .
