Students’ Incredible Research
We are generating an open source of interdisciplinary knowledge. In the table below you can find the reports created by students through our Living Lab. We are also hosting great work that students have undertaken for their degree assessment that is making a difference for Sustainable Development through the SDGs - and needs to be shared!
If you find any of this material useful, please let us know. We will return that information to the student who created the report and it is useful for us to be able to evidence impact to hopefully grow the project.
If you have undertaken one of our University Living Lab research projects and would like us to share your project with the organisation who set it, please upload your report. And/Or, if you are proud of a marked piece of assessment that relates to the SDGs that you would like to showcase, please also upload it. If you are an educator and would like to be part of this social-environmental-economic movement, just drop Jen a line.
