CO-DESIGN LIVING LABS – A NETWORK OF THE ALIVE NATIONAL CENTRE FOR MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH TRANSLATION

WHAT ARE LIVING LABS?

Living labs are just that--they are places of the everyday and live collaboration, where we put people at the heart of science and research. Living Labs bring people with technological, industry, policy and research skills together with people who have lived-experience of mental ill-health and/or bring carer, family and kinship group experiences. We operate an end to end research design to translation model that was established and has evolved since 2017. The model is shown here below.

Working together, Co-Design Living Labs offer the potential for private-public partnerships to co-create new technologies, solutions and co-design research priorities, projects and co-research models.

GET INVOLVED!
