    		"Reimagining Sustainability at ColLaboratoire 2020" by Catherine Sarah Young


    ColLaboratoire 2020 was a week-long Research Residency program in multiple-disciplinary research and sustainability, especially in the context of Philippines. During the residency, ColLaboratoire Fellows explored applying imaginative, methodologically innovative, and radically multiple-disciplinary approaches to six Research Challenges related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. For one week on the island of Siargao, ColLaboratoire Fellows looked at innovative ways to address the Research Challenges that combine teaching with applied and multiple-disciplinary research practice.

    Inspired by the successful ColLaboratoire 2016 research summer school, ColLaboratoire 2020 was a collaboration between the University of the Philippines Open University, the University of Plymouth, the CogNovo Foundation for Cognitive Innovation, and local and international partners from industry and civic society.

    Ann Peeters

    Ann has a background in performance arts and has earned her spurs in the Brussels social sector, focusing on playful and engaging language learning techniques, as well as digital inclusion and social innovation.

    Until 2018, she coordinated Fablab and Medialab Brussels. Her enthusiasm inspires (young) innovators to explore new technologies and take on (social) challenges, preferably through a co-creation approach.

    She currently works at a local Brussels ngo TADA to enlarge impact for a more inclusive society.

    She has been involved in several SEADS projects and enjoys the overlap of tinkering and social interaction, as well as the new horizons a transdisciplinary approach offers.

    You could also bump into her on a swing dancing event or at a game table. Ann loves Brussels for its diversity and unexpected encounters. Her hidden agenda is somewhat anarcho-feminist.
