To ensure the well-being of our living environment demands a response to climate change, biodiversity loss and scarcity of natural resources. Today’s multiple transitions require participatory and deliberative approaches to create shared visions and actions for a sustainable future. The search for multi-stakeholder collaboration in real-life environments paved the way for the Living Lab approach which refers to co-creation processes with participation of governments, academia, civil society, and industry and close contact with end-users for validation. The Living lab approach is particularly relevant as a methodology to create unique opportunities for students to learn. By being close to- and ideally being part of – practice, new ways forward to tackle key challenges and establish investment opportunities are identified. However, research shows that Living Lab configurations not always lead to direct or indirect positive outcomes, as assumed at the start of its conceptualization. The role of communication and participation, amongst others, is increasingly recognized as relevant to the comprehension of Living Lab dynamics.

Over the past decade, there is a fair amount of experiences testing and applying the Living Lab approach in the knowledge collaboration between Indonesia and the Netherlands. This session will explore the dynamics, challenges and successes of Living Labs in this regard. The session aims to improve the performance of Living Labs and contribute to a community of practitioners sharing information on Living Labs.

The session will specifically focus on the role of Higher Education Institutes referring both to their research activities as well as considering implications for curricula. The session builds on recent experiences in projects supported by the Orange Knowledge Programme (OKP) in Sulawesi, Living labs contributing to the SustainPalm programme, and a Living Lab on the Renewable Energy Transition and Climate-Change Mitigation initiated by the NL Knowledge House. It brings together speakers and experiences from the Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences (HVHL), the Agricultural Institute Bogor (IPB), the Technological University Bandung (ITB), Saxion University of Applied Sciences, the Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) and the University of Muhammadiyah Enrekang (UNIMEN).
