Project:

Citizen think tank | Citizens make the city

We will not achieve the goals of the climate mission by just involving citizens in the change. It is important to make the positive side visible and tangible, and to ensure that everyone can participate. The Living Lab 040 therefore has a citizen think tank. Our ambition is to bridge the gap between citizens and professionals, as well as solutions. In the think tank, a group of engaged citizens (from both within and outside Eindhoven) participates, who want to actively think about the challenges in their city of tomorrow. They have a voice here, are involved in innovations, and can even live in the testing ground. We want to activate all knowledge through the citizen think tank to bring the sustainability task closer to the citizens, by organizing various events and small-scale projects within and outside the Living Lab. We can also use this tool to gauge adoption and resistance to innovation.

Help request

Need for support from the municipality and other societal parties, or investors. A traditional business case cannot be made under an initiative like a citizen think tank. The benefits lie in engaging citizens and helping to mobilize citizen initiatives. Therefore, we are looking for funding for setup, maintenance, and costs. Financing from public resources (including subsidies), receiving innovation, research, and development assignments (knowledge seekers) from companies, governments, as well as to support activities related to the Climate Mission.
