Labs
Spaces of innovation, cutting-edge research, and grounded practice.
OVERVIEW
The IIHS Labs enable experimentation in knowledge creation and incubation, methodological innovation, and skill-building.
They support the institution’s vision by emphasising innovation in practice, research and methods. They contribute to creating new knowledge to enhance IIHS’ internal capabilities, as well as for the learning and development for external partners and participants.
The Labs help advance practice, research, and innovation through systematic methodological experimentation.
Interdisciplinary Knowledge
By enabling experimentation and methodological innovation, the Labs help strengthen IIHS’ ability to generate, apply, and share knowledge across disciplines and contexts.
