- Typology: Real-World Laboratory
How can we leave an intact environment and better life chances to future generations? How can sustainable development be promoted through cooperation between science and society? The Tiny FOP MOB, the small Research and Practice Mobile, a project by the Center for Advanced Studies of Eurac Research in cooperation with the Institute for Renewable Energy, the Free University of Bolzano and the craft enterprises Habicher Holzbau GmbH and Schönthaler Bausteinwerk GmbH, turns these questions into a programme. The Real-World Lab starts its journey through the Venosta Valley in Silandro and stops in Laces, Curon Venosta, Prato allo Stelvio e Malles.
The Tiny FOP MOB is building project, education and research initiative all in one. It aims to encourage people to think about sustainability and already provides a concrete example of it. Funded by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE-FESR), the project involves the design, construction and use of a CO₂-negative Real-World Laboratory - a new form of cooperation between research and society.
It aims to create space for the development of innovative ideas as well as connections between the centre and the periphery, between science, entrepreneurship and the population, between practice and theory. Interested parties are invited to work together with researchers and companies on sustainable solutions. Three events per municipality are planned for this purpose.
Pilot municipalities throughout the Venosta Valley
Where does our food come from? Why do we build with wood from Russian forests and how can supply chains be made sustainable? These are just some questions in the focus. The project examines what role companies play in shaping a more sustainable society and economy. Further it questions how transformation processes can be initiated within and by companies, how innovative economic processes can be set in motion and, thereby, how to build a more ecologically and social society.
Not only an opening event for the Tiny FOP MOB per municipality, but also a business talk and an open evening with workshops are planned. The central aim in all pilot municipalities - which include Silandro, Laces, Curon Venosta, Prato allo Stelvio e Malles - is to initiate transformation processes for more sustainable living and working.
Project closing event | 17 June 2022
Over 1,150 visitors in five pilot communities of the Vinschgau Valley, around 20 organised workshops, lectures and discussion rounds and numerous other moments of encounter and exchange around the topics of sustainable development, sustainable building and living and beyond: the Tiny FOP MOB was and is definitely a point of attraction. For some time now, the Real World Laboratory made of wood and hemp has found a stand in the BASIS Vinschgau Venosta.
The results of all Tiny FOP MOB project partners will now be presented there at a final event. A discussion round with Roland Psenner (President of Eurac Research), Rafael Alber (Mayor of Prad at Stilfserjoch), Mathias Piazzi (Piazzi carpentry) and Madeleine Rohrer (Dachverband für Natur- und Umweltschutz) will also provide interesting insights.
All interested parties are invited to learn more about the rolling reallaboratory, the results and experiences of its tour through the Vinschgau Valley on Friday, 17 June 2022 from 6 to 8 p.m. and to conclude the project with an aperitif.
Participation is free of charge.
