Method for rehabilitating of urban areas across Europe through multidisciplinary activities carried out in three living open innovation laboratories.

Three Living Labs in the cities of Genk (BE), Pamplona (ES) and Tartu (EE) will test combinations of different technologies and near-to-market services, evaluating their performance as a single operating system. The University of the Basque Country (EHU) collaborates on issues related to social innovation (co-creation), energy efficiency and circularity in buildings, LCA, AR and VR, digitalisation, and the optimisation of workflows and prefabrication.

Dates: October 2021 – March 2026

The objective of the project is to identify and test replicable and commercially viable solutions that enable the implementation of energy-positive neighbourhoods in existing urban contexts, in line with the European Union´s goal of becoming climate neutral by 2050.
