Description
This workshop, rooted in the LAUDS project Horizon Europe, addresses the European challenge of enhancing urban and creative factories to support a transition to more local sustainable production. Participants will explore how linking art, technologies and living labs supports NEB values and collaboration in their innovation ecosystem. The aim of the workshop is to bring together different communities (creatives, artists, makers, practitioners, public actors and researchers, etc.) to reflect together on the needs and opportunities in terms of acceleration, mentoring and scaling-up towards a transformation for localised & urban manufacturing.

Fedoua Kasmi
Research associate at the University of LorraineFedoua Kasmi is a research associate at the University of Lorraine. Her research combines two disciplinary approaches of territorial economics andspatial and urban planning to analyze sustainable innovation trajectories in territories. Her research focuses particularly on circular economy and innovation ecosystems, Do-It-Together and industry of the future, Urban Factories and eco-responsible innovation spaces. She is interested in the role played by the collaborative innovation spaces (Living Labs, FabLab, Makerspaces...) in supporting the deployment of circular economy.

Robert Mies
Research associate at TU BerlinI am research associate at TU Berlin. Here, I studied industrial engineering andcompleted my D.Sc. in Engineering. My research is on the intersection ofindustrial engineering, open source hardware development and open anddistributed manufacturing. Our current projects are LAUDS Local Accessible Urban Digital and Sustainable Factories (Horizon Europe), Open.Make – Implementing FAIR and open hardware (Berlin University Alliance) and Fab City. Since 2025, we also run the Making Lab at the central library TU/UDK and the BUA Mobile Lab.
