METABUILDING LABS (G.A. The OITB will help to accelerate SME innovation and allow SMEs to become competitive against big industry players.

EU wide network of Testing Facilities & Innovation Services for new building envelope technologies & products

This project has received funding from the EU H2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No. 953193. Nº 953193) is a five-year Horizon 2020 EU-funded project whose main objectives are to unlock the innovation potential, improve competitiveness and boost market impact of

the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the European construction sector. For that reason, an Open Innovation Digital Platform will serve as a Single-Entry Point, giving access to a powerful innovation ecosystem, including more than 100 testing facilities across 12 European countries. A large consortium of 40 partners have joined forces to provide the construction sector with an easy access to a wide network of high-value testing facilities (laboratories, test benches, pilot buildings and living labs) allowing stakeholders to develop and test innovative systems and solutions for next generation buildings. These testing facilities will be provided by:

* Research & Technology Organisations (RTOs)
* Living Labs
* Social Housing buildings

The METABUILDING LABS network of testing facilities will extend across the following countries:

AUSTRIA · BELGIUM · FRANCE · GERMANY · HUNGARY · IRELAND
ITALY · LUXEMBOURG · POLAND · SPAIN · SWEDEN · TURKEY

METABUILDING LABS project reaches out to SMEs and provides them with access to Open Innovation Testbeds (OITB) as part of a wider innovation support ecosystem, which will be of high value and tailored to their needs. Some SMEs, representing the main targeted stakeholder group, form part of the project consortium to collaborate in the specification and development of the OITB and its services, and to “test drive” their innovations. In order to engage an ever-growing number of SMEs in innovation on a European scale, an OITB not only needs to create, organise and put to work technical and regulatory testing facilities and services, but should also deploy a sound and effective strategy to bring European SMEs into its ecosystem by means of metaclustering. The main idea behind the metaclustering concept is to maximize the outreach to up to 30.000 SMEs from all European regions through 12 Metaclusters that interconnect 180 existing European Clusters that will reach SMEs through a cascade communication methodology:

METACLUSTERS > EUROPEAN CLUSTERS > NATIONAL PLATFORMS > REGIONAL CLUSTERS > SMEs

The METABUILDING LABS project is closely related to the H2020 project METABUILDING (G.A. Nº 873964), (www.metabuilding-project.eu), which started in June 2020. The METABUILDING project has put in place the first layer of this ecosystem by involving 6 target countries (which will now be extended to 13 European countries) and has created an Open Innovation Digital Platform for the innovation ecosystem of the construction sector. This platform will be consolidated and enlarged through METABUILDING LABS. The metabuilding.com platform will serve as a virtual and ubiquitous Single-Entry Point to innovation support and services to the European construction ecosystem in general, and particularly to the Innovation testbed services, which are being developed within the METABUILDING LABS project. This represents an ambitious twofold intent, which is strategically underpinned by the European Construction Technology Platform’s (ECTP) roadmap. Moreover, 21 of the ECTP’s members, including the ECTP itself, are partners in the METABUILDING LABS project themselves. SECTORAL, REPLICATION AND EXPLOITATION OBJECTIVES

> Build up a future-proof, upgradable, competitive, sustainable, and inclusive European Innovation Ecosystem and OITB network.

> Stimulate investments in building-envelope innovations and new technologies by providing testbed evidence on material performance for companies and investors.

> Contribute to enhance the technical and environmental quality of EU building envelope products, through the harmonisation and streamlining of testing requirements. SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES

> Unlock the potential of SMEs by providing access to prototyping, testing and certification services and infrastructures, in order to improve the quality of new products and solutions.

> Test user acceptance and environmental requirements of products and co-develop solutions in Living Labs.

🎤Ponencias: Expertos de IDONIAL, como Luis Ignacio Suárez Ríos y Juan Carlos Piquero Camblor, intervienen en distintas mesas redondas para abordar temas como la prefabricación, la fabricación aditiva desplegable y las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza.

IDONIAL Centro Tecnológico expondrá sus avances en la ponencia "Fabricación Aditiva de Fachadas Verdes Sostenibles para Edificios" y compartirá los resultados alcanzados en el proyecto europeo Metabuilding Labs.
🗓️4 de junio | 🕛09:00 - 10:15 h | 📍Sala Paraninfo.

La ponencia destacará cómo transformaron el diseño de paneles poliméricos para fachadas verdes (capaces de integrar vegetación y recoger agua de lluvia) para hacerlos viables industrialmente.

Esta intervención formará parte de la sesión "Retos en la impresión 3D para el sector de la construcción", patrocinada por Centro Tecnológico de la Construcción (CTCON).

📢Invitamos a todos los profesionales a unirse a nosotros en Santander este mes de junio para ayudar a diseñar un futuro más competitivo y digitalizado para el sector de la construcción.

🎤 The best training sessions at ENoLL have always had one thing in common: they were led by people who'd actually done the work. Practitioners who brought real challenges, real lessons, and the honesty to share what they learned along the way.

That's what the Learning Lab is built on.

On 29 September 2026, the day before OpenLivingLab Days kicks off in Brussels, we're hosting an intensive day of hands-on learning, and we need trainers to make it happen. Two tracks run in parallel: one for newcomers getting to grips with Living Lab fundamentals, and one for experienced practitioners diving into sustainability, impact assessment, or new methodologies.

Sessions are 1.5 to 2 hours, built around real cases and interactive co-creation, not lectures. And yes, trainers are compensated for their work.

If you've developed expertise worth passing on, this is your invitation to share it.

The application deadline is 11 May 2026.

The moment we've been building toward is finally here.

Today, we're opening the doors to OpenLivingLab Days 2026, and we want you to be part of creating it. This isn't just another conference, it's the global gathering where Living Lab practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and innovators come together to push the boundaries of what's possible.

From September 29 to October 2, we'll converge in Brussels and Antwerp for four days of learning, collaboration, and real-world impact. But first, we need your voice.

We've officially opened our Call for Contributions. Here's how you can shape OLLD26:

🎤 Panel Sessions (Due May 1) Lead the conversation. Design 75-minute interactive sessions, roundtables, debates, expert discussions, that tackle the challenges and opportunities facing Living Labs today.

🛠️ Hands-on Workshops (Due May 1) Go beyond theory. Create 90-minute experiences where 20 participants actively collaborate, build skills, and walk away with solutions they can implement immediately. Submit a 1-minute video in English explaining your workshop's goal and value.

📊 Research Papers (Due May 15) Share your findings. From full research papers to work-in-progress studies to innovation case studies, your contribution will be published in our official proceedings and presented to a global audience.

Why OLLD26 matters:

This year's theme, "Living Labs Impacts and Values for a Changing World," asks the hard questions: What tangible impact have Living Labs created? How do we measure value? What role do we play in shaping policies and communities?

With five diverse conference tracks (from societal challenges to emerging tech to inclusive engagement), there's space for every perspective.

What you get as a presenter: ✅ Platform to share your expertise with Living Lab professionals worldwide ✅ Publication in official proceedings (ISBN) ✅ Networking opportunities with EU policymakers and innovators ✅ Discounted conference registration ✅ Selected papers may be invited for journal publication

The Living Lab community is ready to learn from you. Will you step up?

Mark your calendars: → May 1: Panel sessions & workshops deadline → May 15: Research papers deadline → Sept 29-Oct 2: OLLD26 in Brussels & Antwerp
