Science and society together for a sustainable future in the Upper Rhine

Making top-level research on sustainability in the Upper Rhine region visible to all is the goal of the Eucor-MobiLab Roadshow. In the cities of the five member universities of the trinational Eucor alliance (Universities of Freiburg, Basel, Strasbourg, Haute-Alsace and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) as well as in other cities in the Upper Rhine region, there will be activities in the field of knowledge transfer, science communication and research. Citizens have the opportunity to experience "hands-on science" and to interact with researchers.

The traveling venue for the multifaceted program is the MobiLab – the mobile participation lab of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. It offers diverse participatory use options in the interior and the adjacent public space and is thus ideally suited to host exchanges between the scientific community and the general public. The objectives of the roadshow are to make an innovative contribution to top-level research with cross-border partners, to promote the exchange between society and science on sustainability issues, and to increase the visibility of research topics in the spectrum of sustainability research in the Eucor region.

The Eucor MobiLab Roadshow is funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts as part of the implementation of the Eucor Strategic Plan 2024-2030. The Franco-German-Swiss Upper Rhine Conference is also supporting the roadshow financially. The Eucor team at KIT, the KIT Centre Humans and Technology and the Karlsruhe Real-World Laboratory for Sustainable Climate Protection (KARLA) are organising the project.
