What is a Living Lab?

These labs are dynamic spaces that foster creativity and co-creation, allowing participants to engage directly with new tools & strategies in authentic contexts. By integrating the perspectives of diverse groups, Living Labs enhance the relevance and applicability of their outcomes and promote the adoption of sustainable practices through hands-on involvement and real-time feedback.
