UKLL newsletter August 2025: public engagement and preparation for co-creation of results / 1.08.2025

The Urban Cycling Lab Ljubljana expands its public presence while preparing for a participatory interpretation of results with stakeholders and citizens.

In August 2025, the Urban Cycling Lab Ljubljana (UKLL) strengthened its public engagement by contributing to a national exhibition on citizen science, while preparing for the next phase of participatory result interpretation. The project was featured in the open-air exhibition “Discover, Participate, Research – Citizen Science in Slovenia,” presented along the Krakovski embankment in Ljubljana.

The exhibition showcased more than 30 Slovenian citizen science projects, connecting scientific research with artistic expression and science communication through a series of illustrated posters. The inclusion of the Urban Cycling Lab highlights its role as a prominent example of participatory environmental health research, demonstrating how citizens can actively contribute to understanding and improving urban environments.

At the same time, the project announced an upcoming co-creation workshop, where participants and stakeholders will jointly review and interpret the results of the study. This marks an important step in the Living Lab process, shifting from data analysis towards collaborative knowledge production and discussion of implications for urban planning and mobility.

By combining public dissemination with participatory evaluation, the Urban Cycling Lab continues to reinforce its role as a bridge between science, society, and policy, ensuring that research findings are both accessible and actionable.
