Living Lab Projects

The EUPeace Living Peace Lab is a creative hub where universities, civil society, and citizens co-create solutions for peace, justice, and inclusion. Guided by the Societal Dialogue Group, it turns ideas into impact by fostering collaboration, dialogue, and practical innovation.

The EUPeace Living Peace Lab is an open innovation ecosystem where universities, civil society, businesses, governments, and citizens come together to co-create solutions that promote peace, justice, and inclusive societies. Participants are active contributors in every stage—from analysis to implementation—ensuring ideas are practical, impactful, and relevant to real-world challenges.

As a space for creative learning and collective action, the Lab connects people and disciplines across the EUPeace network. While its focus is peace, justice, and inclusion, it also welcomes initiatives in areas such as sustainability, technology, and culture—making it a truly cross-cutting platform for innovation and collaboration.

The Lab bridges academic research with societal needs, empowering students, researchers, practitioners, and citizens to develop projects with tangible community benefits. It embodies EUPeace’s mission to combine academic excellence with social responsibility.
