Workshop “Practical and Epistemic Challenges of Living Lab Research – Perspectives from Australia and Germany” with Darren Sharp

Aim:
The aim of the workshop is
(1) to inform each other about current activities and thus to inform and inspire each other about current perspectives on living lab research in the respective countries,
(2) to reflect on these perspectives against the background of different research cultures in the respective countries
(3) to identify future perspectives for cooperation.

Approach:
The workshop will be scheduled for four hours and will be structured according to the three objectives of the workshop. Invited speakers will present examples and experiences from the two research contexts. This will be followed by a collaborative exploration of practical and epistemic practices. In a concluding phase, further questions will be identified and perspectives for future cooperation will be explored.

Background:
In the first two weeks of September 2024, Darren Sharp, senior researcher at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), is coming to Aachen based on a Kármán Fellowship. Darren Sharp is leading a challenging project which aims to turn the Monash Campus into a Net-Zero CO2 space following a living lab approach.
