Each of the Labs form a thematic focus on which UNHCR is committed to innovating based on a request from a Division to collaborate, which may or may not be combined with a pre-identifi ed organization-wide need. Innovation Labs are a co-working space – both virtual and physical – in which new ideas can be explored, in which hands-on project management takes place, and in which lessons learned are documented and shared with the co-owning Division. Innovation Labs are also a space from which the scaling of good practices can emerge.
