With 81 research projects (of which 20 are finished), we addressed a growing range of topics focused around our three themes: Circular City, Connected City and Vital City. More details can be found in the Research & Valorization chapter of our Annual Report.
2017 was a flourishing year as well for our education program, with the successful launch in September of the MSc MADE, Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering, two Summer Schools and a tremendous participation in our MOOCs.
An other 2017 milestone was the publication of a guide on how to set up an urban living lab “Urban Living Labs – A Living Lab way of Working”. A way of working that facilitates the transition between fundamental research and society wide implementation. It demonstrates the need of such an in-between solution for metropolitan challenges.
