Vision, mission and strategic areas for CaLiLab

CALILAB VISION

The Campus Living Lab is an open collaborative space to improve the well-being of communities through theimplementation of usable research and the co-creation of solutions for a better future.

 

CALILAB MISSION

CaLiLab's mission is built around the implementation of activities in collaboration with partners representing four sectors. Among the planned activities are:

  • implementation of transdisciplinary research
  • increasing the transfer of practices and knowledge
  • increasing the quality of life of the community
  • increasing public involvement
  • improvement and creation of public policies
  • improving communication and cooperation with the public sector
  • forecasting and identification of trends
  • cooperation between business and academia
  • CSR activities
  • product and service development

 

CALILAB STRATEGIC AREAS

Smart blue-green campuses

  • Biodiversity
  • Water & waste management
  • Community gardening & farming
  • Smart mobility systems
  • Climate change
  • Food management
  • Digital campus


Inclusive social and business innovation

  • Spatial and digital accessibility
  • Solutions for vulnerable groups at risk of exclusion
  • Active citizenship
  • Development of public policies
  • CSR
  • Empowerment
  • Mental health and work-life balance
     

This is because generating innovation today requires a minimum critical mass of resources and competencies, as well as an appropriate, dense network of interactions among stakeholders. The research methods used within the Living Lab are user-oriented and include, among others, action research and various types of design approaches (Design Thinking etc.). The synergistic effect here is enhanced by the opportunity to experiment, create and test solution prototypes, and involve different stakeholder groups. The essence of living labs is to conduct research in real-world conditions together with the community affected by the issue being tested.

 

The flagship project “Campus Living Lab. Useful Research HUB” combines the ideas of a living lab with new trends in the operation of university campuses (including the learning landscape). The subject of the project will be the creation of a campus Living Lab in the space of the 600th Anniversary Renewal Campus of the Jagiellonian University. In it we will implement, among other things, projects aimed at solving social, economic, organizational or environmental problems. Essential to the operation of the Living Lab will be anticipating the future challenges of the modern world.

 

The goal of the Campus Living Lab project is to implement initiatives of a useful research nature. The Living Lab is an innovative, participatory form of cooperation between the world of science and practice. Innovation labs are testing and experimentation environments that support the co-creation of solutions in the Quadruple Helix Model. This means that society, public authorities, business and science are involved in the collaboration on new solutions.
