Opening & Closing Hours

Collaboration in experimental learning, innovation, and transition environments such as Living Labs can be complicated to carry out in practice. Designers and design researchers are often involved in these processes based on their intrinsic emphasis on transformation of the status quo towards new ways of collaboration for sustainable common futures. We propose that these new ways of collaboration have to include joint learning processes. In this chapter, we reflect on the dynamics within such environments which affect the way they are open or closed in their learning processes.
