By engaging with the Living Lab, you not only contribute to a sustainable future but also gain a deeper connection to our campus and the wider Warwick community. Every project, big or small, helps us learn more about our environment, enhance our social practices, and build a culture of sustainability that touches every aspect of university life.

How to Launch a Living Lab Project at Warwick:

1. Ways to begin

• Apply for an Existing Project: Explore our current project list and contact the project holder directly. Watch for project announcements, particularly when planning your dissertation.

• Got Your Own Idea? Submit a new project proposal using our template and send it to [contact email]. Alternatively, review completed projects to find research gaps or new opportunities. Reach out to [contact email] if you wish to build on these ideas.

2. Set up and carrying out your project

• Agreement and Planning: After meeting with the project team members, finalise your project details with your lead and academic supervisor. Sign the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to set clear goals and responsibilities.

• Ongoing Support: Receive regular guidance from your project lead and access university resources. If your project is part of a dissertation, work with your advisor to integrate it with your academic work

3. Project completion and sharing

• Submit Results: As part of our commitment to data sharing and transparency all data must be sent to the project leaders to be gathered and stored in our Data Library, alongside a brief summary of findings.
• Living Lab Blog: Share your project experience as well as any photos or videos on our Living Lab Blog.
