ENERGY & WATER – Greater Copenhagen Living Lab is an educational and collaborative living lab, created as a public-private partnership between the ‘Environmental Educational Services’ in the City of Copenhagen and HOFOR, Greater Copenhagen Utility.
Our mission is to connect city stakeholders through pedagogical tools in order to create sustainable cities. We do this by providing engaging, factual, and relevant education, showcasing, involvement, co-design and knowledge sharing of sustainable city solutions on climate adaptation, energy and water supply and education in the UN Sustainable Development Goals for the sustainable city and utility.
Since its establishment in 1999, ENERGY & WATER (E&W) has developed into a living lab made up by four centers of expertise: a Science Center, a Collaboratorium, a Showroom and a Knowledge Center. The E&W Science Center excel in STEM- and utility-based education for kids, the Collaboratorium focuses on citizen driven co-design processes regarding climate solutions, in the Showroom we share knowledge on sustainable city solutions whilst our Knowledge Center develops and shares knowledge on pedagogical tools and methods used to support the development of sustainable cities. Through these four centers, the E&W Living Lab has a strong emphasis on creating solutions to wicked problems relating to sustainable cities using participatory processes, education and showcasing in Greater Copenhagen:
PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES
In collaboration with relevant partners from municipalities, academia, utility companies, schools and institutions, E&W have developed a Design thinking platform for involvement and co-design of programmes for Sustainable City Education and STEM- and utility-based education.

At ENERGY & WATER – Greater Copenhagen Living Lab we utilize a range of Living Lab methods, from data acquisition to design thinking to different types of visualization to connect people in our projects. These methods help bridge any subjective (e.g. values, prejudices, or feelings) and objective (e.g. economy or technology related to the project) elements that might otherwise hinder the success of the project. Furthermore, we make sure all our projects create change on three different levels: micro (user level), meso (technology level) and macro (systems level).
