Objective of the call:
Regional Living Labs operate as experimental learning environments, encouraging interdisciplinary teaching formats and collaboration across faculties to engage students from diverse academic backgrounds. Learning activities are embedded in real regional contexts and developed in close interaction with local actors, social environments, and community knowledge. Ideally, RLLs may focus on the revitalisation, reuse, and transformation of unused or vacant built and unbuilt spaces in both urban and rural contexts.
Why apply?

- A pedagogical support course on interdisciplinary course development.
- A community of practice of BAUHAUS4EU members.
- Three online workshops (kick-off, mid-term, and closing) with selected regional partners of the alliance, on the involvement of local communities, place-based design of labs, and communication with local and regional stakeholders
