A framework for testing ideas before scaling them

Living Lab Slovenia 2035 is not a catalogue of completed solutions and not an official government programme. It is an open research framework developed by the Institute for Demographic Future. It separates verified evidence from interpretation, hypotheses, scenarios and proposals, and moves promising ideas towards measurable pilot projects.

Water, food, energy, work, community, mobility and ageing

Seven additional fields will be opened progressively once their evidence base, questions and development pathway are ready for responsible public review.

Research integrity: concepts and scenarios published here are clearly distinguished from official statistics and institutional policy. The purpose is to invite testing, criticism and cooperation — not to present assumptions as established facts.

Who can take part?

Municipalities, companies, universities, research organisations, civil society, practitioners and residents can contribute problems, evidence, implementation knowledge, pilot environments or critical review.
