OpenLab.brussels

The OpenLab.brussels is a joint venture of ULB-VUB dedicated to participatory research. It mobilises our academic community and public or private stakeholders willing to collaborate on participatory research projects in Brussels. Participatory research approaches allow any stakeholders to participate in (part of) the research process as co-researchers. More than simply increasing research capacity and data collection, these approaches allow more inclusive and sustainable research with increased societal relevance. It also increases diversity in science and contributes to bridging the gap between researchers and stakeholders.
