The project UJI.> LAB, was born with the aim of designing a creative and innovative environment that facilitates the generation of new ideas based on co-creation methodologies with users: members of the university community, both teaching staff and students, research groups and in a more advanced phase with companies, linked to Espaitec or those that present a technological profile and require our collaboration for the design and creation of prototypes.

The process is managed through the creation of various actions, such as ideas competitions, orientation of end-of-degree (TFG) and master's (TFM) projects or identification of opportunities or the start-up of start-ups in a framework of multidisciplinarity (360º). These works will be aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/objetivos-de-desarrollo-sostenible/)

The methodology used to implement the UJI.> LAB will be based on the so-called "LivingLab methodology", adopted as standard by the European Network of LivingLabs (ENOLL).

UJI.> LAB encourages the interaction between knowledge and business through a new channel, with a clear vocation to stimulate open innovation activities. In addition, the project incorporates a Fablab or prototyping and digital manufacturing laboratory, which will enable the materialization of the ideas proposed for the resolution of challenges through prototypes. that will enable the materialization of the ideas raised for the resolution of challenges through prototypes.
