Generative AI Experience Lab: Creating the Next-Generation Sustainable Building Services

11 Nov. 2025 - 09 Dec. 2025

Join a dynamic 4-day hybrid programme (2 days online + 2 days in-person in Zurich/Wädenswil, Switzerland / or online).

Learn how to harness the power of GenAI and Design Thinking to solve real-world challenges with a focus on sustainability in the built environment.

Working in diverse teams, you will take on a challenge presented by industry partners, tackling a complex “wicked problem” that demands creativity, empathy, and tech-savvy thinking. No coding skills required. You and your team will  get hands-on experience and the chance to build and pitch a functional prototype using GenAI tools to design smarter, more human-centred building services: These could range from building a system to encourage users to save energy at work through gamification, developing an app that lets employees buy untouched meals from the cafeteria, to designing clever dashboards that help people share office spaces more effectively.

This activity will include:

  • Get mentoring from experts in academia and industry
  • Pitch your solution for the opportunity to gain recognition and support for future development.
  • Enjoy flexible hybrid participation from anywhere.

Credentials:

  • Earn 2 ECTS credits and EELISA Credentials in AI, innovation and sustainability.

Participation and traveling:

  • Participation Mode: Hybrid
  • Accommodation: Students should look to book accommodation in advance.
