Open Lab Hours (OLH) are short 5-day training sessions on research topics provided by an intra-alliance team of mentors. They are designed for undergraduate and post-graduate master students of EU-CONEXUS universities with a keen interest in exploring research avenues related to Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability.

During OLH, students gain essential competencies from various alliance partners. Each OLH will take place in a hybrid format, combining simultaneously:
