  • What is the REBEL Open Space?

    Every year, REBEL organises an Open Space workshop[1] to explore our common goals in the REBEL research program and investigate what we can do the coming years to reach them!

    The goal with this workshop is to bring together the REBEL collective of researchers, developers, funders, interested private and public actors, and communities to explore the directions we want to go together and come up with a prioritised and co-created list of what we will develop. The workshop is facilitated by the Open Space expert Pernilla Luttropp 

    Our ambition with organising this is to create a vibrant and friendly opportunity to network across disciplines and sectors with similar interests in co-creating concepts for socially sustainable future living and responsible innovation. This is the REBEL way of bringing in a reference group.


    [1] The key feature of Open Space Technology is its emphasis on self-organization and participant-driven agenda setting, where attendees have the freedom to propose, join, and lead discussions based on their interests and expertise.

  • Introducing Lab Futures Sweden (FUSE) network

    Within REBEL, the FUSE network has become a natural meeting point for people who want to explore and shape the future together. It brings together researchers, companies, and public organisations openly and collaboratively to explore and learn about different kinds of “lab” approaches.

    FUSE network meeting in Helsingborg 2025

    FUSE focuses on doing, not just talking. Through shared learning, workshops, and ongoing exchange, new ideas take shape, connections are made, and collaborations begin to grow. This spring, FUSE continues to bring people together through events in Helsingborg and Gothenburg. These gatherings will include hands-on workshops on future making, along with a visit to a local transition lab, offering participants a chance to experience collaborative innovation in practice.

    By making it easier for people to connect, test ideas, and learn from each other, FUSE helps turn “future lab-research” into something tangible. In doing so, it strengthens REBEL’s role as a bridge between knowledge and real-world innovation.

    First FUSE network meeting in 2024

    At its core, FUSE is about curiosity, collaboration, and creating the future together by using different kind of lab-approaches. Would you like to learn more? Check out our web page and contact the FUSE orchestrators to get on the e-mail list!
