The EnvironmentalLAB (OmgevingsLAB) is the knowledge hub for the functioning and application of the Environmental Law and serves as a link between knowledge seekers and knowledge holders.
Researchers, students, teachers, and groups from society (citizens, businesses, government, civil society) learn, co-create, and experiment together. They collaboratively develop knowledge about the new law and make it applicable to local and regional practices. In this way, they promote the sustainable development of the living environment in the spirit of the Environmental Law.
The EnvironmentalLAB serves as a link between knowledge seekers and knowledge holders and is part of a national knowledge infrastructure with similar knowledge hubs at other universities of applied sciences.
The EnvironmentalLAB connects with existing living labs and projects. In these living labs, partners from society and education work on current issues related to the sustainable development of the living environment. This includes topics such as integrated working, participatory strategies, or the digital system.
The EnvironmentalLAB also addresses issues related to the instruments of the Environmental Law, such as environmental visions and environmental plans. For example, how do you incorporate climate adaptation and biodiversity into an environmental plan, and how do you involve entrepreneurs? Or how do you translate play area policies at the neighborhood level into an environmental plan?
Researchers approach every knowledge or research question from the coherence between the low-dynamic natural system, the middle system of networks, and the high-dynamic system of humans and society. In sustainable area development, the lower dynamic layers set conditions for the higher dynamic layers.
In the EnvironmentalLAB, the focus is on the green living environment, with attention to climate adaptation, nature and landscape, health, food and agriculture, and water management.
Do you have an issue that might be suitable for the Environmental LAB? Teachers, researchers, and students work together interdisciplinarily on your issue. You will receive an integrated application of their expertise with a methodical approach and scientific support.
The Environmental LAB offers experimental space without local interests and with concrete agreements on the intended results.

Why would you, as a teacher (researcher), want to participate in the EnvironmentalLAB?
In the LAB, you work interdisciplinarily with students for an external client. You work on real, current assignments, where you learn together about the Environmental Law. The EnvironmentalLAB supports you in formulating the task, setting learning objectives, and integrating it into the curriculum. Additionally, through the EnvironmentalLAB, you can engage a larger potential of students (by year, program, specialization). In the EnvironmentalLAB, we share knowledge—knowledge that can also inform your project. By working on a project basis, you learn together about the Environmental Law, strengthening relationships with other programs.

Why would you, as a student, want to participate in the EnvironmentalLAB?
You can work on challenging research tasks with the support of professors and teachers. You have the opportunity to collaborate on a real project for a real client, with students from other programs, while learning about the Environmental Law. You are needed to work on current and urgent issues. You do this together, in a multidisciplinary team, which will benefit you for a lifetime.
