The LAUDS project is trying to take its model to other contexts through the LAUDS Replication open call. This involves supporting hybrid teams (made up of at least artistic/creative entities and technology providers) to work together and design the development of a LAUDS factory. The model will be adapted to suit each context, while also dealing with important issues related to mobility, energy and agriculture/food production.

  
LAUDS Factories invites artists/creative people and technology providers to submit proposals for Experiments aimed at exploring and working with LAUDS factories to enhance their usability and uptake, while answering to pressing challenges in the mobility, energy and agriculture/food production sectors. The project has 216.000 EUR to provide support to at least 8 Experiments that will be collaborating with LAUDS Factories in activities such as conceiving novel uses of technologies that help push for green solutions, and/or exploring alternative design methods using artistic practices creating new industrial models connecting potential manufacturers partners, creatives and end-users. These activities should provide answers to proposed challenges by the three LAUDS Factories with which the selected hybrid teams are to cooperate.

The selected teams will implement their projects in cooperation with one of the LAUDS Factories Experiments Hosting Partners (in Germany, Ukraine, Switzerland, Spain or France), benefiting from the guidance and support of LAUDS Factories partners, while contributing to improve the LAUDS Factories Partners and Project processes and procedures, connecting potential manufacturers partners, creatives and end-users. Experiments expected duration is 6 to 9 months (November 2025 to August 2026).

  
OC#2 of LAUDS Factories will support at least eight Experiments with:

  
* **Up to 27,000 EUR each Experiment (which can include travel costs);**
* 3 types of mentoring and assistance: administrative (provided by INOVA+), technical (provided by LAUDS Factories Hosting Partner) and communication (SUPSI);
* 1:1 meetings with experts on specific topics identified by selected teams (e.g. IPR, business models);
* Training workshops (collective) offered by the LAUDS Factories Partners and other experts;
* Networking and promotion opportunities.
