A Living Lab refers to an innovation platform which aims to provide citizens with hands-on experiences in solving the problems they encounter in daily life, while at the same time achieving sustainable innovation through these efforts. A Living Lab derives solutions through processes such as recruiting citizen researchers, hosting special lectures, providing training, conducting research, holding discussions, and presenting outcomes.

The agenda of this year is “Safe Mobility Infrastructure.” Participants will identify problems encountered in daily life, explore how these relate to infrastructure, and engage in activities and discussions oriented toward practical solutions.
Finally, the Lab will co-develop actionable measures and seek policy support in collaboration with MOU partner institutions.
