LIVING LABS
• User-driven open innovation ecosystems based
on business – citizens – government
partnerships which enable users to take part an
active part in:
• Bringing users early into the co-creation
process
• Bridging the innovation gap between
technology development and the
uptake of new products and services
• Allowing for early assessment of the
socio-economic implications of new
technological solutions

THE EUROPEAN NETWORK
OF LIVING LABS
• The European Network of Living
Labs (ENoLL) - the international
federation of benchmarked Living
Labs in Europe and worldwide.
• Founded in November 2006 under
the auspices of the Finnish European
Presidency.
• 5 Waves have been finished,
resulting in 62 new accepted Living
Labs (total 274 LL).
• The living lab approach is a new
innovation strategy that increases
the chance your products become a
commercial success. http://www.openlivinglabs.eu

GENERAL OBJECTIVES
• Transfers approach and methodology of the TN MED programme’s
MedLab project.
• Aim is to transform Central Europe into a broad-reaching laboratory for
innovation.
• Based on a promising approach in the arena of ICT under the name “Living
Lab”. Technology R&D brings infrastructures into real-life contexts to
enable a “co-design” process with end users.
• Method ensures greater relevance and faster time to market for R&D
results (demonstrated by the 274 Living Labs in the ENoLL network).
• Bottom-up approach (using pilot method).

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
• to develop a trans-national Central European Living
Lab based on:
• the deep integration of the Living Lab approach into regional policy
• the trans-national framework of ICT product and service R&D
• the governance of territorial innovation
