Aix-Marseille Université launched its CIVIS Open Lab

On 9 September 2021, Aix-Marseille Université launched the first round of projects supported by its CIVIS Open Lab

CIVIS Open Labs

The CIVIS Open Labs aim to create a space where universities and citizens can discuss local needs and challenges and participate in the co-creation of projects based on an integrated approach. In short, the CIVIS Open Labs develop innovative and inclusive initiatives that have a positive impact on citizens.

A successful event

The event, which brought together about 60 people was also an opportunity to discuss the projects selected following a call launche in March 2021. This first call had sought projects which contribute to the development and implementation of proposals presented in response to the five CIVIS challenges:

• Climate, Environment, Energy
• Health
• Society, Culture, Heritage
• Digital and Technological Transformations
• Cities, Territories, Mobilities

Four projects were selected by the jury, with a focus on:

• the development of service-learning
• the appropriation of new tools for urban mobilisation
• collective intelligence for and by citizens
• digital transformation
