Nestled between a growing urban district and a natural landscape park, Jagiellonian University finds itself at a unique intersection of urban development and biodiversity conservation. Here, the Campus Living Lab project flourishes, showcasing diverse green spaces that serve aesthetic, educational, and ecological purposes. 

“We are in the middle of these two different ways of using the land. And we can show diversity of different types of greenery and different types of using green spaces.”

Catalyzing Collaboration

The vision of the Campus Living Lab project is clear: to foster collaboration among researchers, students, and external stakeholders to tackle pressing environmental issues. The project seeks to rectify past oversights in campus development while proactively tackling issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss.

“Our final goal is to create an environment that would be a campus as a living lab.”

Campus Living Lab receives support from national initiatives, allowing for the execution of pilot projects spanning blue-green infrastructure and social-business innovations. The project embraces interdisciplinary collaboration, bridging faculties and expertise to address multifaceted challenges.

Through study visits and workshops, the project draws inspiration from established research activities such as Kampus+ while actively involving local communities, public authorities, and businesses in co-creation endeavors.

Upcoming Events: April 19th, 2024

While rooted in academia, the project extends a warm invitation to the wider community. Through inclusive workshops and events, the project seeks to bridge the gap between the university and its neighbors, fostering a sense of ownership and collective responsibility for the campus environment.

On April 19th, Jagiellonian University invites you to the Green Triangle to join a series of workshops and events aimed at fostering community engagement and environmental stewardship.
