liminal lab
Liminal Lab envisions futures for territories based on a clear knowledge of the opportunities and challenges present in disinvested and depopulated areas
-
An itinerant field-based laboratory spread across the Italian territory that documents, analyzes and proposes solutions for the sustainable development of small communities. These applied research programs bring together top universities and local stakeholders to tackle intractable problems faced by communities through a multi-disciplinary approach.
-
On-the-ground experiences where students and researchers spend 3 to 8 weeks working in direct contact with the area of interest and its stakeholders. Liminal runs these programs through the support of academic institutions, as well as public and private sector entities.
-
Tangible change is catalyzed by ambitious visions that are grounded in realistic constraints, include stakeholders and enjoy broad community consensus. Liminal Lab is the forum and incubator through which we plant this seed.
