About Kolabo

The goal of the Kolabo Foundation is to initiate research and discourse regarding new possibilities of communication technologies and innovative applications that contribute to sustaining human values.

Kolabo creates the conditions for a special blend of disciplines to experiment from their diversity of insights. By curating three different Lab environments, we involve higher education, large and small businesses and experts in the fields of technology, social sciences, media and communication.

Process

The Summer Lab offers collaboration of young talent from various studies with professional thinkers and do-ers in just as diverse fields of expertise as the graduates are from.

Pro Labs offers collaborations of companies and institutes with talent, often in collaboration with partners that facilitate entrepreneurs in their efforts to keep up with new technologies.

Edu Labs are the long-term Labs that involve various institutes of higher education. As the themes and assignments for this educational process come straight out of Summer Lab and Pro Labs, they usually involve collaborators from these previous Labs.

Our Goal

KOLABO is a Communication Research Laboratory. Its goal is to initiate research and publish about the possibilities of new communication technologies that contribute to human values.

To reach this goal Kolabo boasts a powerful architecture of participation with creative lab sessions, workshops and lectures. The aim is to make plausible the many intriguing scenarios for our future.

Motivation

Technological advancement has always been a source of both fear and hope. New technologies ignore old processes, leaving behind those who live by the old rules.

Yet technology can also help to overcome isolation and create new social perspectives.

Kolabo’s motivation is to find ways to forward society in a way that truly adheres to basic human values.
