CLL Partners (Prior to Dec 2024)
Expertise on hand
At UBC, there are multiple research centres and operational units involved in the diverse range of Campus as a Living Lab (CLL) projects. In addition, UBC partners with a wide range of external organizations from the public sector and private industry. Our listing below provides a brief snapshot of each partner, and links for further information.
The Urban Innovation Research team in UBC’s Sustainability Hub is in the early stages of revitalizing and restructuring Campus as a Living Lab as a mechanism to more effectively to address complex sustainability challenges and increase the real-world impacts. As part of this process we are continually identifying groups already working in a living lab approach, and expanding the range of collaborators for future projects.
Please check back often for new information on UBC individuals and units that support CLL collaborations.
