Living Laboratory

The Living Laboratory concept brings together research partners and Lincoln University students to research and explore the challenges that face our world.

Lincoln’s Living Laboratory creates an effective methodology and practical environment where as a student using the resources on the Lincoln University campus, you engage with partners to explore, test and solve real-world problems relating to the land-based sector.  

A Living Laboratory project combines:

  1. Students: Engaging in real-world problem solving through practical application and research
  2. Academia: Either individual academics or researchers
  3. Partners: These include Māori organisations, land-based sector, industry, community, government and schools

How projects are established

A management group works with academics to establish projects.

The management group is currently led by Dr Tracy-Anne De Silva (Learning and Teaching Excellence Manager) and includes representatives from:

  • Each faculty
  • State of the Land
  • Learning, Teaching and Library.
