Objectives

Design a creative and innovative environment (UJI.>LAB) that facilitates the generation of new ideas, supported by co-creation methodologies with users: companies, research groups and other university community members.

The Lab will enable “prototypes” (in the widest sense) to be created from challenges or requirements discovered by teachers, or by Final Graduation Projects (FGPs), Final Master Projects (FMPs). The design and creation of these prototypes will be supported by knowledge generated at university through different actions. The interaction among various university community members (researchers, students, etc.) will be facilitated so they can select the piece or pieces of equipment that they use to perform their work.

The project will be a space for experimentation, innovation and demonstration for new technologies and methodologies for both the research community and its production and social environment.

To this end, the intension is to facilitate a co-creation spaces network that acts as a driver of social and digital innovation at the university and in its surroundings.

Apart from designing and creating a project, UJI.>LAB will be the environment in which the methodology will be designed and its validation will be monitored.
