THE CAMPUS YOU WANT - THE CAMPUS WE NEED

Great introduction today into this years main course topic: THE CAMPUS YOU WANT - THE CAMPUS WE NEED. How to convert our campus into a decarbonized, regenerative ecosystem that takes care of persons, environment, resources and by the way creates opportunities for a collective learning processes in a healthy environment?

The Q+ working group introduced us into the basic objectives of the eco-social transition roadmap of ETSAV, and the related Q+ project they collaborated during the last semesters. How can we reduce efectively the 822 Tn of CO2 emissions we generate as a community each year? Buildings, mobility, food, materials... our campus metabolism under research! 

During this semester LOW3 students will contribute to the overall objective of a decarbonized, regenerative ETSAV campus by generating knowledge, visions, roadmaps and specific interventions.

Start of new LIVING LAB LOW3 course 2026!

LOW3 starts again! First class of LOW3 2025/26_Q2: Getting known to each other with a first discussion and presentation round at the LOW3 terrace and a introduction to our MOOC learning platform and the participatory Living Lab dynamics. 

Students lifestyle carbon footprint results in 12 Tn average according to our first exercise. A good starting point for getting known to the new challenge of this year: Ideas for an integrated regenerative decarbonization concept for our campus and community in line with the Q+ project and the eco-social transition roadmap of ETSAV!

As in each course, we went through the LOW3 Solar House, exploring its spaces, analyzing its concepts and understanding its potential as a inspiring place for transformative education in sustainability.

Diversity of views with a holistic approach to sustainability, value discussions and learning-by-doing will be again part of the game at the LOW3 Living Lab. Let’s start!
