The identified societal challenges are solved at UNIC-wide co-creation events where heterogenous teams tackle the challenges collaboratively. Leveraging the diversity of the UNIC network widens perspectives, magnifies creativity, and boosts problem-solving and could even lead to finding solutions to wicked problems.

Ultimately, local experts and administrators offer support and guidance for materialising created solutions and connect creators with necessary people and resources. The aim of these local events is to help implement the most viable solutions locally and identify ways to overcome barriers for societal impact. The knowledge and practices produced in CityLabs are shared in the Open Case Repository.
