The K•AIE group is the next group we present in this new edition of the “Open Lab Days” program, who have started their project with a focus on waste upcycling.

Their project stems from reflecting on our daily habits, especially the constant use of single-use plastic bags in supermarkets. Now, through our creative program and access to our laboratory machinery, the group is exploring new possibilities and approaches towards a practical solution that aims to reduce this practice.

We present to you the SPIRAL group, participants in the new edition of “Open Lab Days,” currently working on an artistic installation.

Their project addresses environmental issues through a creative and experimental approach, combining different elements and recycled materials to encourage awareness and reflection. With the support of our program and access to the laboratory spaces, they are developing this idea into an installation that aims to offer a unique experience for the public.
