Its realisation started in the last week of September with the construction of the first infrastructure. Work is expected to be largely completed by the second quarter of 2024. LILa will function as a research, innovation and education lab to enable experiments in the outdoor physical environment within our own campus. It also contributes to the development of new skills for students, researchers and professionals. All this will be spread over an area of 1.7 ha near the Boerderijweg/De Achterhorst intersection. LILa is unique in that it is largely located outdoors. In addition, measurements of subsoil, soil surface, infrastructure and atmosphere will be taken almost continuously.Read more
