In order to realize the European goals on reducing the emission of green-house gasses and in order to reduce the dependency of scarce base materials and fossil energy sources one of the most complex challenges is the transition towards a sustainable and Near Zero Emission (NZE) built environment. In facing this challenge both the educational as the business sector encounter following barriers in implementing sustainable and NZE building and retrofitting technologies: - the number of „technical‟ students, crucial for this transition, is decreasing dramatically - the fragmentation of knowledge necessary for this transition; - the skills of today‟s delivered students do not match with the needs of the business sector in this field. The EURL3A project wants to tackle these barriers by improving technical education, making education more efficient and making it more attractive by a dynamic integration of practice and theory by the so called Real Life Learning Lab Concept. In Real Life Learning Labs multidisciplinary teams of students and young entrepreneurs, under mentorship of professionals from universities and industry work on Real Life assignments from the business sector and on developing new enterprises. During this process relevant theoretical knowledge is educated just in time. The Real Life Learning Labs are centred in regional knowledge alliances in which mobility and exchange programs are active. The regional knowledge alliances are coupled as one European network of knowledge alliances for easy accessible knowledge and research capacity and an exchange program on an European level. The EURL3A project develops the concept in three European countries as a start for a European network of Real Life Learning Lab Alliances. The envisaged impact is: - More and better educated and trained engineers on relevant technologies and competencies for the sustainable NZE built environment - Support for enterprises in developing and innovating products en services to enter this market of tomorrow - An easy accessible network of knowledge and research capacity on an European level including an exchange and mobility program to support business growth - A contribution in speeding up the transition to a sustainable NZE built environment with respect for economic growth on a European level.
