About
City&Lab is not a project, but a way of cooperating and sharing – a collaboration concept with a shared portfolio of projects with a common goal;
CONTRIBUTING TO SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY.
Our partners and friends are involved in the different projects under City&Lab, and the projects have their own steering committees and economy separated from City&Lab. But to ensure the best possible learning and use of resources, City&Lab offers an organized 4 helix collaboration for sharing and development across disciplines. City&Lab is organized into work teams, a steering committee, test sites, a toolbox and a project portfolio.
The work team
Coordinates the project portfolio to assure correlation, communication, sharing, and cooperation between projects, and that the projects are in accordance with City&Lab values, vision and goals.
We come from different disciplines from business and different levels of government, but practice a horizontal structure. This challenges us in our communication and understanding of each others perspective, and challenges us in methods for reaching common goals.
We do this because we believe diversity gives us greater learning outcome.

The steering committee consist of The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Kongsberg Municipality, Directorate of Public Roads, Kongsberg Innovation, ITS-Norway and Viken County Municipality.
