KIC call: learning from physical experimental environments

To tackle complex social issues such as the nitrogen crisis and the housing shortage, interventions are carried out by governments, companies and social organizations based on research. Because it is often unknown in advance to what extent these interventions contribute to problem solutions, experimental environments are increasingly used. The aim of the call 'Learning from physical experimental environments (KIC)' is to conduct methodological research into different types of physical experimental environments. The budget for this call is 3 million euros with a duration of 6 years.

Purpose

The objective of the call 'Learning from physical experimental environments (KIC) is: the program must contribute to the reliability and scalability and therefore the relevance of physical experimental environments as a research method. This involves research into the preconditions and design of physical experimental environments and methods that can be used within these physical experimental environments. The question also concerns the extent to which the findings generated in a physical experimental environment can be used in other experimental environments and in everyday practice.
