1st Open Real-World Lab Day in Berlin

At the intersection of science, technology, and everyday life, practices, prototypes, and innovative solutions are emerging to drive societal transformation toward sustainability. Berlin, a growing metropolis, is also on the path to climate neutrality and aims to become a “sponge city”; social cohesion is essential in the areas of the mobility and heating transitions.

In this context, StadtManufaktur Berlin hosted the 1st Open Real-World Lab Day on October 10, 2024!

The Open Real-World Lab Day is supported by the Network of Real-World Labs for Sustainability and the Society for Transdisciplinary and Participatory Research (GTPF) and will take place nationwide in 2025: In the context of local, sustainable transformation, this day aims to bring to life the challenges, experiences, and successes of real-world lab work, transdisciplinary and participatory research, technology, and innovation in real-world labs in Berlin. We invited researchers, staff, students, and partners from TU Berlin and UdK Berlin to share their interests in transformation, motivations, solutions, and questions on this day.

We would like to thank all participants for their involvement, inspiration, and exchange of ideas!
