Since 2012 Barcelona Laboratori (BCNLab) is a plaSorm (Culture InsUtute of Barcelona, #BCNInnovació) • to promote and stablish
connecUons among people and communiUes
• through ideas and creaUve projects
• from the world of technology, science, knowledge and culture in the city of Barcelona.

What is a lab? The city as a lab
Research in the wild
Michel Callon (2003) 1. Researchers in the wild are directly concerned
with the knowledge they produce • ProducUon and appropriaUon • IncenUves are of a different nature
2. Research in the wild makes a strong contribuUon to the formulaUon of problems and quesUons

A Pop-‐Up-‐Experiment (PUE) is a physical, light, highly adaptable, parUcipatory and public experimental set-‐up for urban contexts that (1) applies CS pracUces and ideals to provide
ground-‐breaking knowledge and (2) transforms the experiment into a valuable,
socially responsible, consented and transparent experience.
Shaping a solu7on: the Pop-‐Up Experiments
From O. Sagarra, M. GuUérrez-‐Roig, I. Bonhoure and J. Perelló hgp://arxiv.org/abs/1509.06575
Pop-‐up Experiments along ci7zen science framework and in a city
1. CollecUve ExperimentaUon sharing publicly the risk with all parUcipants.
2. Volunteers should be first users of the scienUfic knowledge being produced.
3. Natural experiments in real-‐world. An alternaUve to virtual labs and to byassed populaUons in social experiments.
4. Clear definiUon of the quesUon. Appealing concept: ParUcipants are curious!
5. Time and space frames controlled since it is a one-‐shot experiment.
6. Light infraestructure easy to adapt to several contexts. Always expect the uncertain.
7. Quick and flexible configuraUon of teams (but large and complex to manage).
