Theme
The HitteLab Rotterdam is a learning community focused on (urban) heat. Through the HitteLab, Rotterdam knowledge institutions, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) and the Municipality of Rotterdam are combining their field labs and measurement infrastructures, research projects and partnerships. The HitteLab aims to establish an accessible, reciprocal and structural way of collaborating, researching and exchanging knowledge on heat issues in Rotterdam that affect the health of residents, buildings and public spaces.
The basis of the HeatLab is a transdisciplinary (graduation) workshop that tackles issues from local practice. By supervising graduation projects, the HeatLab Rotterdam is building a learning community where policy, research and practice continuously meet.
