Field labs

Field labs provide practical environments that allow companies and research institutes to develop, test and implement targeted solutions.

Field labs also offer an environment where people can learn how to apply these solutions. They serve to strengthen links with research, education and policy on specific themes. Some field labs have a regional focus, while others concentrate on national, European or global solutions. Watch a video about three of the labs.
