The applied laboratories, field by field
A laboratory opens where a school already teaches: that is the condition for it to find a supervisor, trained students and a field. Here are the ones the schools with a catalogue make possible.
One laboratory per field held
A laboratory is not a place but an arrangement: a named supervisor, a field, a schedule of work and students who come to apply what they learn. It opens in a field the school already holds, never beside it.

What is produced there
An applied laboratory is judged on what comes out of it and serves elsewhere. Its output feeds teaching, the competency record of the students who took part, and sometimes the organisation that posed the problem.
- Regional datasets, documented and reused in teaching
- Case studies built on real West African organisations
- Documented incidents, later replayed in immersion modules
- Prototypes handed to the organisation that posed the problem
- Deliverables added to the participants' competency records

Questions about the laboratories
Does a laboratory require being on site?
The work runs online like the rest of the programme: a shared working space, video progress reviews, versioned submissions. Fields that call for a physical presence are announced in the calendar, and remote participation stays organised.
How do I propose a subject?
Through your faculty adviser, who passes it to the laboratory of the field concerned. A subject retained receives a named supervisor, a schedule and access to the datasets built by previous cohorts.
