The PRBB Punk Lab is a two-step initiative for cross-disciplinary research. In step one, called "Cultivate", researchers from different fields will participate in three-day encounters to discuss general themes and work on group projects. In step two, called "Prototype", working groups will use partner labs to practically develop prototypes of ideas from the cultivation process over two to three days. The goals are to generate cross-disciplinary experiences, prototype new research tools, and help young scientists build inter-disciplinary networks outside their own fields. The initiative aims to foster collaboration across knowledge domains and help close the gap between research and technology development.
