Description | The EUGLOH Living Lab encompasses a series of activities conducted in immersive and experimental settings, aimed at fostering transversal and multidisciplinary competencies. These “living laboratories” are driven by multidisciplinary “knowledge-creating teams” responsible for pedagogical co-creation across the four pillars of the Knowledge Square — Education, Research, Innovation, and Service to Society.
