With the support of our members, the EAUC has launched a national project on Living Labs. We invite academics, operational staff, and students from all institutions to learn more about Living Labs and have a discussion on how we can use this concept to improve sustainability on campuses and in communities.
Why should I attend?
This webinar aims to initiate an open dialogue on the EAUC Living Labs project. The session will first hear from some institutions at different phases of their Living Labs projects, and then digress into a wider dialogue about the benefits and methods of developing/expanding Living Labs at institutions across the UK.
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar is for students and staff (both operational and academic) interested in learning and discussing how we can bridge the gap between the curriculum and the sustainable development of campuses and local communities.
What are the key learning outcomes?
