EUGLOH LIVING LAB CATALOGUE
The EUGLOH Living Lab is a collaborative initiative bringing together students, researchers, and staff from EUGLOH partner universities to co-create innovative courses in experimental, real-world learning environments.
These “living laboratories” are designed to help participants develop transversal and multidisciplinary skills — such as communication, leadership, problem-solving, and digital competencies — while working in knowledge-creating teams that combine expertise from different disciplines.
The Living Lab approach connects education, research, innovation, and service to society, while also involving external and non-academic partners to ensure that learning is relevant to the real needs of today’s labour market and society.
A New Way of Learning
Courses are created collaboratively by several EUGLOH universities
- They use challenge-based and experimental learning methods
- They are offered in blended formats (combining in-person and virtual learning)
- They are open to students, researchers, and staff across all fields and levels
This approach opens classrooms to international and multidisciplinary audiences, fostering innovation, creativity, and collaboration across borders.
