Ibero-American Network of Labs
It is a network promoted by the Civic Innovation project of the Ibero-American General Secretariat that articulates 44 civic, gov, and university labs and maker spaces, among others, from 12 Ibero-American countries that are part of the new institutional framework of the 21st century.
Objectives of the network
To promote the exchange of experiences and knowledge between laboratories on different subjects: culture, prototyping, education, technology, art, sustainable development, public innovation and international cooperation.
To give international visibility to the work carried out by each laboratory at a local or national level.
