Day 0 - Tuesday, 29 September 2026
Day 0 takes place on Tuesday, 29 September 2026 in Brussels, with two separate events running in parallel.
The Policy Event is a high-level exchange bringing together policymakers, researchers, and Living Lab practitioners to explore the role of Living Labs in shaping evidence-based European policies. Participation is free but requires a valid OLLD26 ticket or an invitation.
The Learning Lab Day 0 is a paid, hands-on training available in two tracks: a Basic Track for newcomers and an Intermediate Track for practitioners looking to deepen their practice. Places are limited to 40 participants.
