In response to pressuring challenges such as climate change and the need for sustainable building and manufacturing, the Kalundborg demonstrator aims to develop innovative solutions grounded in education, inclusion, biology, and ecology. The experimentation conducted within the Desire project calls for a transdisciplinary approach for the learning environment, ensuring that graduates can work across educational levels and engage various stakeholders in co-creating innovative solutions. The city of Kalundborg aspires to develop a robust educational campus for about 1,250 students, researchers, teachers, entrepreneurs, and future job candidates. Located near the major Kalundborg biotech industry and just outside the city center, this campus is set to become a significant educational hub within biosolutions and biomanufacturing. This transformation highlights challenges such as the development of a shared vision, plans and programs for the future of the campus. Key challenges include fostering local citizen engagement, creating a vision for the sustainable educational campus that meets diverse needs, and ensuring long-term benefits for the city and its inhabitants. The experimentation conducted within the Desire project seeks to address these issues through comprehensive and inclusive development strategies, promoting sustainable urban development and community resilience.
