Laboratory of ideas for the future of agriculture
In the series with the Berlin Open Lab (BOL), you can collect ideas for the future of agriculture with us! Immerse yourself in the world of design research and explore how old and new methods can help make agriculture and land use more sustainable.

Together with young researchers from the Berlin Open Lab, you will learn how to make donuts more sustainable with the help of AI or produce fertilizer from urine.
You will bring old salt extraction techniques into the present with 3D printing, explore the concept of a commons forest and develop smart warning systems for the forest.
Experimenting with seaweed, you will discover an ecosystem between marine cultivation, research and craftsmanship.
In this workshop, we want to introduce you to the principle of energy harvesting through so-called piezo elements with a very practical experimental setup: We will build an LED light chain with you that has no batteries - and we will light it up anyway!
In our research, we use this technology for innovative warning systems in forest fire areas. We will show you how this technology can be used in sustainable energy systems or even in hard-to-reach areas where conventional energy supply is difficult.
Cooperation
The Berlin Open Lab (BOL) at UdK Berlin brings together researchers and ideas from different fields to enable new forms of design. The Berlin Open Lab is an experimental space for transdisciplinary research projects at the interface of technology, society and art.

What is an Open Lab evening?
Every Thursday it gets creative in the lab. You will learn about methods such as design thinking or future storytelling, can try out 3D printers and laser cutters and take a look behind the scenes of the Lab projects. There's something new every week.Translated with DeepL
