The first edition of FutureLab Camp took place in 2025 at the PK KUT. International student teams then worked on concepts for the development of the Zakliczyn municipality. The second edition, organized in March 2026 by Universit\u00e9 Marie et Louis Pasteur in Belfort, France, gathered 34 students from STARS EU partner universities, including eight PK KUT students. They worked on projects concerning, among others, hydrogen technologies, energy transformation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable student living spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 FutureLab Camp shows how much can be achieved when students from different countries and disciplines work together on ambitious regional challenges. The results of both first editions of the program exceeded the expectations of the organizers and regional stakeholders who benefit from the developed solutions \u2013 emphasizes Adam Sad\u0142o from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at PK KUT, leader of the FutureLab Camp task within STARS EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2027, program participants will meet in Bragan\u00e7a \u2013 a city located in northeastern Portugal. The event will be hosted by Bragan\u00e7a Polytechnic University, and projects will be prepared in cooperation with regional stakeholders and in conjunction with the activities of university research and development centers and the UPB Living Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
