We aim to
democratise
laboratory automation.

Contact us

Automation poses significant challenges for academic research laboratories, as the necessary expertise is often neither available in-house nor easily accessible through external resources. To address this need, technical universities are increasingly offering educational opportunities and degrees in the field of laboratory automation. 

Our goal

The goal of the smartlab.network, a non-profit consortium, is to bridge the gap between academia and industry by connecting educational institutions, users, and hardware and software providers. The network aims to make education more efficient and application-oriented while lowering entry barriers for research laboratories.

Open-source

The smartlab.network recognizes that academia requires open-source standards for laboratories to enhance innovation and accelerate progress. Open-source standards promote transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration, enabling researchers to build upon existing knowledge and develop novel solutions more efficiently. The organization is systematically driving this topic by advocating for the adoption of open-source standards, providing resources and support for their implementation, and fostering a community of like-minded individuals and institutions committed to advancing laboratory automation through open innovation.
