Coming weeks we are bringing you a Mayor’s manual mini-series. In this mini-series we take a closer look at living labs performed by MADE Master students at AMS Institute. Urban challenges we face today have a multidisciplinary, complex nature. Living Labs are an attractive way to test, create and develop solutions for these complex urban challenges. We talk with Dutch and international students who through their living lab research aim to find solutions to a broad spectrum of urban challenges. 

In this first episode we discuss the living lab concept together with AMS living lab course coördinator  Nina Bohm and AMS living lab case owner Abel Hemmelder. We talk about why living labs are used for education, what the advantages are for case owners when working with students and what role Living Labs can play in solving urban challenges?
