Our cooperation with ANRT elaborates on a joint project with the FUTURIS plaform (Q1+Q2 / 2015). We run jointly an expert group dedicated to the investigation of the openness in labs such as Living Labs, Open Labs, Fab Labs, Creative Labs, etc.

We will work with cases studies, field research and auditions. Two PSB students supporting the project, are also positioned at ANRT with internships. The project will serve the elaboration af a White paper on the strategies and relevance of installing open labs in order to serve the objectives of private businesses, or of public agencies.
