A Learning and Innovation Lab

The Learning Lab of the University of Fribourg aims to be a space for exchange, learning, and co-creation.

The Learning Lab is a physical space equipped with digital tools that can be used for teaching, learning, and experimenting. The Learning Lab is also intended to be a community of people who wish to share and exchange ideas.

The DigitalSkills@UNIFR project (2019-2020) enabled the creative design of the Learning Lab and the testing of initial usage possibilities. In 2021, the Department of Computer Science, Human-IST, and the NTE Center became the sponsors of this project. The dossier developed in 2019-2020 was expanded, and the space was designed with a prototyping area (FabLab), a learning area (Learning Lab), and an area for innovative teaching. The Department of Computer Science has agreed to manage the Learning Lab, in particular the FabLab. Other departments are invited to actively participate in this place of learning, meeting, and creation. Work was also carried out with the university architect to establish definitive plans for the Learning Lab and to consider furniture that would support and facilitate a wide variety of activities in the Learning Lab.
