The ‘Living Lab’ is a programme that provides opportunities for Cambridge students to propose and carry out projects across the University to improve Cambridge’s sustainability. These projects are carried out directly on and with the buildings, grounds and operations of the University.

Students can take part in volunteer projects such as energy audits or they can incorporate sustainability into their degree by using the University’s buildings and data as a case study in their research projects. The Living Lab connects operational issues with student interests and academic needs.

We go behind the scenes and meet some of the students and lecturers involved in this innovative project.
