CORLab — Community & Organic Research Laboratory
A Laboratory of Voices and Data Where Communities Co-Create Knowledge
Bottom-Up Research
CORLab, an inclusive and independent research hub that bridges academic rigor with community practice to measure, accelerate, and scale eco-social innovation. Communities are not research subjects but co-owners of knowledge. They design questions, gather micro-data, and analyse findings—ensuring every result reflects lived realities.
Systemic collaboration
By partnering with universities, civic organisations, and enterprises, CORLab co-creates participatory research and micro-assessment frameworks that reveal how innovation emerges, evolves, and builds resilience within communities.
Platform for Empowerment
Research hub and a platform for empowerment—producing rigorous evidence while co-creating with and training communities. Through the CORLab Academy, community members, marginalised scholars, and practitioners gain hands-on skills in participatory research, data management, and communication.
Vision
Our vision is to build inclusive researchpractices
by communities and communities.
Mission
Our mission is to empower communities to co-create
knowledge and drive data-informed eco-social change.
