The project creates a new consultancy field: campus development facilitation for knowledge-intensive and creative sectors. It provides local city and campus actors with methods, concepts, and templates, and especially a practical, tangible and digital playbook including creative design concepts, ideas and examples for spaces and use. Using the scalable playbook, the consultant’s own creative input, and stakeholder interaction, the campus development process becomes alteration between creative design ideas and interaction with the involved. This supports informed, evidence-based and visionary decision-making. By fostering
technological transfer from research to practice, as well as collaboration between campuses, local governments, and enterprises, a campus pilot (e.g. Taltech) can become a testbed for sustainable, creative solutions in social and technical sustainability, spatial planning, and design. The work also produces possibilities for further EU and national R&D funding.
