What is a Living Lab project?
Living Lab projects provide real-life learning opportunities for students, and opportunities for research impact for academics whilst helping us meet MyAV范's ambitious sustainability听commitments.听
A Living Lab project should:听
- Be aligned to听MyAV范's Sustainability Strategy;
- Aim to solve a real-life problem and make MyAV范 more sustainable;听
- Create an open source culture by sharing听data and knowledge found with Sustainable MyAV范;听
- Be framed around at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals;
- Be a partnership among key stakeholders, often crossing disciplinary and/or sectoral boundaries.
