UMLL @ UMSDC
UM LIVING LABS (UMLL) WAS ORIGINALLY INTRODUCED IN 2015 UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE RESEARCH CLUSTER (SUSCI RC) AND LATER BY UM SUSTAINABILITY AND LIVING LABS SECRETARIAT (UMSLLS),
WITH A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN DEPUTY VICE-CHANCELLORS (RESEARCH & INNOVATION) AND DVC (DEVELOPMENT) UM.
Realizing the importance of the living labs approach to propel and empower campus sustainability at Universiti Malaya,
moving forward, UMLL is now expanded into various forms to suit different niches and functions of UM.
Practically, UMLL serves as a knowledge/action research platform for the Department of Development and Estate Maintenance (JPPHB) as the process owner (in waste management, water management, energy management, and greening & biodiversity) to gradually improve the sustainability of their operations. In this approach, UM researchers will join hands with JPPHB staff and other stakeholders in UM to systematically improve UM’s performance in these areas according to specific targets or KPIs. This approach is more focused, systematic collaborative, and trans-disciplinary. UM Living Labs have shown significant contributions over these years in supporting the Universiti Malaya's participation in numerous prestigious ranking and assessment platforms such as Universitas Indonesia GreenMetric World University Ranking, Times Higher Education Impact Rankings (THE IR) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), QS World University Rankings: Sustainability among others.
As of the end of 2021, 60 UM Living Lab projects focusing on eco-campus sustainability have been implemented on UM campus. Among highlighted projects include Water Warriors, which focuses on the revival of Tasek Varsiti UM and water management on campus, UM Zero Waste Campaign, which emphasizes sustainable waste management in UM; and The RIMBA Project, with a focus on urban biodiversity and environmental education.
Living Labs are deemed to befit sustainability agenda and UM Eco-campus Blueprint aspirations which SuSci Research Cluster previously coordinated. It is a one-step 'experiment' that combines two main components: research and a sustainable campus transformation plan. UM Living Lab is introduced to support the aspirations of UM to be among the leading Eco-Campus while promoting the participation of the entire campus, a rarely visible trait in other research grants or programs. It is hoped that through translational research of UM Living Labs, our researchers may contribute to the realization of UM Eco-campus Blueprint and subsequently address sustainability issues within UM campus.
