The second step was carried at the EDS symposium in the spring 2017.
Researchers from different disciplines presented researches conducted on Université
Laval’s campus on the use of energy, night lighting and the reuse of waste among others subjects. Additionally, representatives from three Quebec universities explained
their approaches and strategies for the integration of sustainable development in
their respective campuses. Finally, the question of how to transform the campus into
a “living laboratory” was discussed in a workshop.
The cycle of the first year of the EDS-IA implementation culminated in the completion of a three-day summer school in August 2017 during which about fifty participants proposed projects to transform the campus into a “living laboratory”. This
last event of the cycle focused on ideation, and built on the results of the two previous
steps. During the first day of the summer school, the participants traveled the campus
to meet with representatives of administration and services units who inform them
on the challenges of the existing services (energy, housing, catering, transport, etc.).
Such collaboration with the staff and authorities of the university was the result of the
work done in the previous stages. At the end of the event, participant have formulate
seven projects to transform the campus into a living laboratory by promoting the
achievement of the SDGs for its users (Fig. 6).
