Aim of this I Living Lab

Engaged in this I Living Lab, students will be encouraged to think independently, critically and creatively while learning how to facilitate effective cooperation in a team of different professionals, such as engineers and economists. They will be motivated to learn various methods for analyzing socially relevant problems and finding adequate alternative solutions, up to date.

Team Meetings

Monday 17:00-19:00 CET, from 7th of November to 12th of dDecember 6 weeks

Challenge Background

The transition to adulthood and higher education is often associated with high levels of anxiety, depression and other psychological conditions. Improving mental health literacy in students' communities, mostly first-year students, can lead to the early recognition of symptoms and appropriate interventions when needed. Let's work together to promote the psychological well-being of undergraduate students!

Aim of this I Living Lab

In this I Living Lab we will explore tools and strategies that may improve students' literacy on mental health and help to prevent situations of psychosocial vulnerability and psychological distress.

Team Meetings

Regular online Meetings via Microsoft Teams (students and EEs) will take place on Wednesday 17:30-19:00 CET (3rd week to be confirmed). Additional meetings need to be arranged among students for independent group work (expected once a week).

Challenge Background

If you are ready to help people with special needs and are open to new technologies then you should join our I Living Lab class.

Aim of this I Living Lab

Helping people with special needs using cutting-edge technology as AI, robots and VR.

Team Meetings

Team Meetings will take place twice per week. The exact dates and times of the meetings will be agreed upon at the kick-off to match all participating students’ schedules.

Challenge Background

In this I Living Lab you will get a basic understanding of the importance of eating well before and after a workout or physical activity! This semester, we explore how smoothies can provide essential nutrients you need to improve your physical health, and mental capacity and recovery after training/workout. Smoothies can be a great choice as they are so quick and easy to prepare even if you don´t have time. Let’s do it for a better performance!

Aim of this I Living Lab

Team Meetings

Twice a week, one session synchronous with all the learners and the other session asynchronous or with activities in small groups.

Challenge Background

Local agro-industries are looking for the valorisation of their sub-products that remain after they have completed the production stage of food. These industries have many tons of sub-products that they have to discard or sell at a lower value. To help them, researchers are testing the use of these sub-products in microalgae cultivation, an emergent biotechnological activity to achieve a high-value final product that will reach consumers.

Microalgae cultivation research is in need of developments for optimal monitoring and robotics can help with automation of the repetitive tasks. In this I Living Lab you are invited to work on sustainable food/feed resources in your region. You will apply a design thinking methodology to create solutions in a multicultural and interdisciplinary environment.

Aim of this I Living Lab

The main challenge is to envision possible designs for smart tools that could help operators from the industry with doing their daily accompanying of technical monitoring of microalgae cultivations.

Team Meetings

Synchronous meetings – every Tuesday orFriday 4 pm – 7 pm CET with students and 2 EEs online in MS-Teams or Zoom. Additional meetings between students will be required.

Challenge Background

The global energy landscape will change more in the next ten years than in the previous hundred.

Everything is in vain if we produce energy from renewable sources (green energy), but we will continue to use it irresponsibly. The key to this problem is (re)education. We must re-educate ourselves to use the energy at our disposal intelligently, therefore efficiently.

Aim of this I Living Lab

The main purpose of this I Living Lab is to design awareness campaigns for the inhabitants of university campuses that energy is not unlimited and to offer solutions on how they can use the energy that is available to them efficiently.

Team Meetings

Regular online meetings using Microsoft Teams - we will set the date and time together, the whole team - EEs, learners and stakeholders.

Additional group meetings - in principle between learners- EEs and stakeholders interventions where requested.

Challenge Background

Aim of this I Living Lab

In this I Living Lab you are invited to work on the promotion of possible resource-saving and sustainable mobility in a region. You will apply a design thinking process to find solutions in an interdisciplinary approach.

Team Meetings

We (students and EEs) will meet online in MS- Teams from 17:00 -19:00 CET. Additional meetings (students only) will be required.

Challenge Background

There is a mismatch and underused potential of talents in an already overheated labour market. Europe has a hugely diverse potential of 20-something talents seeking their way into the new job market. What if we could bridge this creativity to a European StartUP Market? This might spark the entrepreneurial mindset of students and could function as a gateway for small; medium & Startup entrepreneurs to new talents.

Aim of this I Living Lab

Roel Mentens of Corda Campus: "We want to create an 'open European platform' where new talents can be matched with start-ups and small and medium entreprises. This platform can also facilitate cross-national internship and job options for the 20-something generation. It all starts with clearifiyng personal and business goals."

Team Meetings

Weekly meetings on Thursdays from 18:00-20:00 (CET)
