The on-site conference will take place on Friday 28 October at the College of Architects of Alicante, from 12:00 to 14:30 hours or from 17:00 to 20:00 hours. It will define a set of social and environmental challenges for the city of Alicante, based on those that citizens are choosing in this first phase of the laboratory, open on the web.

The final work will be presented at the press conference to be held on 3 November and on the laboratory’s website. Everyone is called upon to collaborate in order to exercise their rights and take on commitments and responsibilities in this experimental creation. More than 100 groups and 250 respondents have already been counted in the first phase of diagnosis and information, and more are joining every day.

In this first phase, the Cilab Alicante programme has conducted interviews and participatory debate workshops, social studies, group dynamics, as well as streaming videoconferences with local and national experts.

The Alicante Citizen Lab collaborates with other national labs such as Medialab Granada, Las Naves de Valencia, Laboratorio de Vitoria Gasteiz, Medialab Prado de Madrid, Citilab de Cornellá, Impulsa Zaragoza or Coboilab Sant Boi de Llobregat, as well as others from the European Network of Citizen Labs (EnoLL).
