Living Labs
A ROBUST Living Lab is a placed-based form of experimental collaboration that emphasizes co-creation in a real-world setting. Policy-makers, researchers, businesses, service providers, citizens and other stakeholders work together to develop and test new ways to solve problems in a specific geographic region.
The ROBUST project includes 11 Living Labs that represent typical rural-urban settings throughout Europe. Click on the images below to explore what is happening in each ROBUST Living Lab.
Communities of Practice
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a community of people who share a common interest, practice or problem, who share information and experiences with one another to better learn about that particular practice.
The Communities of Practice in ROBUST are organised around five rural-urban themes that provide a structured forum for sharing real-time experiences and findings from the various ROBUST Living Labs.
