Rooted in place.

Built through collaboration.
From rural East Slovakia, we develop projects that connect land, local resources and knowledge with research, culture and new models of rural value creation.
About
KannaLab is a place-based research and innovation initiative rooted in Eastern Slovakia.
​
Our work begins with the realities of rural regions: their land, resources, knowledge, communities and unrealised potential. We connect these local conditions with research, culture and European collaboration.
​
We develop project concepts, build partnerships and create practical activities that bring together actors from agriculture, research, design, culture and regional development.
​
We are open to joining Erasmus+, New European Bauhaus and EIT proposals where we can contribute place-based research, regional stakeholder engagement, project development, communication and practical activities in East Slovakia.
​
Our aim is to translate local possibilities into meaningful environmental, cultural and economic value.
KannaLab x Textilné centrum
From material mapping to new European project concepts.
Our collaboration brings together KannaLab’s agricultural perspective, regional grounding and project-development work with Textilné centrum’s expertise in textiles, craft and material culture.
Together, we develop resources, activities and European project concepts connecting cultivation, natural fibres, textile heritage, design and contemporary applications.
Our Team
KannaLab is currently led by a small core team and a network of collaborators across agriculture, design, and research. We work through partnerships rather than fixed structures, depending on the needs of each project.
We are open to collaborations across rural innovation, natural materials, education, culture and European project development.
