Event Details
This session analyses experiences with Living Labs in complex rural and coastal landscapes with a transdisciplinary lens and the ambition to connect knowledges to action. The session elaborates on research through participation in Living Labs in different thematic fields. Collaborative teams of Indonesian and Dutch universities will present their experiences. The outcomes are based on the three-dimensional model and the life cycle model for the analysis of Living Lab dynamics.
After an introduction, the first contribution features Living Lab Enrekang as a collaborative platform embedded in a complex rural landscape. It brings together local government departments and academic institutions from Indonesia and the Netherlands. The session critically reflects on how governance challenges within the platform Digital Farmer Field School can affect the sustainability of co-created solutions.
This is followed by the universities ITB and HVHL who are partners in integrated river management Living labs: Living Lab Upper Citarum and Living Lab Delta East. These Living Labs focus on public – policy interactions resulting in the elaboration of innovative methodologies such as poetry routes and visual problem appraisal.
The third contribution presented by diverse Dutch and Indonesian knowledge institutes collaborating in action research on peatland restoration and conservation with the creation of virtual Living Labs to crosse distances and reach larger audiences.
After these introductions an interactive event with the participating audience is envisioned. The researchers will challenge the participants to reflect on achievements as realised and challenges experienced over the past years and the associated dynamics. The obtained insights and the corresponding implications for adapting learning environments for transdisciplinary approaches in higher education will be addressed.
Envisioned takeaways from the session:
- Participants can recognise the complexity of Living Labs in rural and coastal landscapes with fragile ecosytems..
- Participants are informed about different ambitions and methodologies of Living labs in rural and coastal contexts.
- Participants can connect the challenges of institutional participation in Living Labs with contemporary challenges of learning design in Higher Education
