Who is Comon

Comon-team

Together, we make Ghent even better

Comon is an open laboratory where scientists and technologists collaborate with creative citizens to make Ghent an even better city. Even more pleasant, even healthier. How? By listening to what citizens need. Exploring issues together. And devising and testing technological solutions tailored to people. For and with citizens of Ghent and Ghent enthusiasts. Because at Comon, everyone is an inventor

Of course, this can only be achieved through collaboration. Policy makers from the City of Ghent, researchers from imec and Ghent University, and the staff of Library De Krook took the initiative to establish Comon. It originated from a desire to put technology back at the service of society. These four partners collaborate at the intersection of culture, technology, and digital innovation. Their mutual home base is De Krook in Ghent. Comon often collaborates with other Krook partners such as Avansa regio Gent, Urgent.fm, and BlueHealth Innovation Center.

    Gets instantly excited when new technologies cross her path. That’s why she loves coordinating Comon so much. Exploring how technologies can make the world a better place is one of her passions. A real inquisitive mind. But beware, if you ask her to write five lines of HTML, she'll hop on her racing bike and be gone!
