EWUU alliance Lunch & Learn Lecture: Co-Creation Living Labs for Circular Healthcare

Online – Teams I 23 May 2024 I Time: 12:15 – 13:00

Are you a researcher, teacher, student who is interested in transdisciplinary collaborations? Every month the EWUU alliance organises a lecture about research and education of the alliance. May’s lecture is organised by the institute 4 a Circular Society. (i4CS). 

On Thursday May 23, 12.15 – 13.00hrs, the i4CS will host an online lunch & learn lecture themed “Co-Creation Living Labs for Circular Healthcare”, based around our research line Circular Safe Hospitals. The lecture is presented by Marcel Crul (NHL Stenden), Redmer van Leeuwen (UMCU), Silke Rijcks (Erasmus MC), and hosted by Florijn Dekkers (UMCU).

Co-creation living labs form a crucial part of the transition towards circular and just healthcare systems. But what exactly is a ‘living lab’? What does a living lab for circular healthcare look like? What does participating in a living lab mean? And what needs are there for the future?

To answer these questions, two researchers and a master student from the ESCH-R consortium will share their experiences. ESCH-R is a transdisciplinary project (including researchers from TU/e, WUR, UU and UMCU) funded by the Dutch Research Council as part of the Dutch Research Agenda to create a more sustainable healthcare sector.
