Project site Denmark: Ballerup Library
At the Denmark project site, the first CIC is set up at the public library in Ballerup, a municipality bordering to Copenhagen. The Ballerup Library opened in 1982 in a building designed by architect Hans Dall. It is positioned in the centre of Ballerup, and has more than 8.000 visitors per week. There are several facilities apart from tradition library offerings, including café, IT helpdesk and a vibrant maker-space. Ballerup Library has over 500 public events per year.

Project team: Aalborg University Copenhagen
The Service Design Lab is an active research lab based in Aalborg University in Copenhagen dedicated to studying and applying service design. In the last decade, the Service Design Lab at Aalborg University has been involved in several EU- funded projects that explored the relation between urban space and public services. Key themes of interest are for example digital social innovation, co-creation, open data, smart cities and service design for public sector.

In the CAPE project, the Service Design Lab will contribute with its acquired knowledge on citizen participation in innovation processes, co-design and participatory design to create an impact on the way next generation of public services are conceived. The project will offer the lab an opportunity to strengthen and expand the research about the use of data in the design process within the area of digitalisation of the public sector.
