Upcoming events
The Transition Lab – dedicated space for co-creating the circular transition — official European Week of Region and Cities partner event
When: 8th of October 2024, 11:30 - 11:45
Where: Brussels, Rue Belliard 99, Jacques Delors building — room JDE 61
The city of Gothenburg will present our Transition Lab (Omställningslabbet) during a Pecha Kucha at the 22nd European Week of Regions and Cities. The Transition Lab is an open workshop where actors from the quadruple helix co-create prototypes that merge material reuse, sharing economy principles and transdisciplinary cooperation, showcasing practical examples of how inclusive and sustainable urban development pioneers the circular transition. The lab was created through, and employs, an innovative place-making method, merging physical place-building with the development of spatial relationships between people, and people and place.
