Overview of the project

The Citizen Lab “Campus du Tertre” is an open experimentation approach, with students at its heart, which uses tools and techniques of collective intelligence and collaborative design to carry out actions and projects on the themes of environmental, societal and economic transition (environmental protection, equality and social justice, energy, food and agriculture, education, health, etc.).
Through its activities, it brings together and mobilise an ecosystem of various and committed actors from the local area who contribute their expertise, knowledge on a specific theme, express uses and needs, share experiences and good practices (teachers, researchers, associations, public institutions, private structures, users, artists, etc.). And this with the aim of imagining, creating and developing together new solutions, tools, services and/or the uses of tomorrow.

It is initially aimed at students, but also at campus and RSE institution staff, as well as at the inhabitants of the surrounding neighbourhoods, on the scale of the campuses and their surrounding neighbourhoods, in the territory of Nantes Métropole.

The Lab Citoyen Campus du Tertre will eventually propose 4 major actions: a project acceleration programme, training-action cycles, an annual events programme (relaying or co-organising initiatives by actors already involved in the metropolitan area), a shared third space.
