Prof. dr. ir. Jan-Carel Diehl is a project board-member of the ESCH-R project. He is also the workpackage leader for WP 5 “What we create: Co-creation with stakeholders in Living Labs in Medical Centers”.

The objectives for this workpackage are:

  1. To establish two Living Labs: One in EMC and one in UMCU, each existing of a Co-Creation Living Lab in combination with three Clinical Living Labs. 
  2. To identify at least twelve environmental hotspots within the Clinical Living Labs which can be used as an intervention case to demonstrate opportunities for circular interventions for medical consumables. 
  3. To co-analyse the twelve cases and co-create circular interventions to enable circularity in the hospital itself and in the value chain. 
  4. To co-validate the developed circular interventions in both the Clinical Living Labs and with value chain stakeholders like industry and waste processors. 
  5. To construct a circular design approach (design standards and tools) for driving circularity in manufacturing, use in hospitals and end of life management of medical consumables.
