On 20 August 2025, the Transdisciplinarity Lab (TdLab) at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with WSL, will host the first Swiss Real-World Labs Conference. Real-world laboratories, living labs, transition labs and similar initiatives offer a framework in many places in Switzerland for practical and forward-looking research and experimentation.

The aim of the event is to raise awareness of various real-world laboratory initiatives in Switzerland, promote exchange between them and jointly develop a better understanding of what real-world laboratories achieve – and need.

What you can expect:

  • Insight into ongoing projects and approaches: presentation of your own projects at a marketplace
  • Exchange with other real-world laboratory actors
  • Inspiration and keynote speech by Oliver Parodi (KIT)
  • Building a community of practice
  • Joint discussion on the future of real-world laboratories in Switzerland

Provisional programme (subject to change):

Please feel free to share this invitation within your own networks. We look forward to seeing you there!

Registration will be available here at the end of May.
