First insights from four real world labs and the accompanying research are presented in this thematic focus in combination with conceptual contributions. For a future understanding of real world lab research, seven constituing conditions have to be met, in order to use real world labs to their full potential: research orientation, normative orientation towards sustainability, transdisciplinarity, transformative approach, participation, long-term orientation and laboratory setup. Other issues are identified for further discussion. }, number={3}, journal={TATuP - Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis}, author={Beecroft, Richard and Parodi, Oliver}, year={2016}, month={Nov.}, pages={4–8} }
