5. Sustainable Solutions
• Global Societal Challenges call for diverse types of knowledge,
resources, participation and mass collaboration.
• Solutions cannot be pushed, they require the motivation of
millions of individuals and their communities; solutions cannot
be pushed.
• New, distributed and highly participatory systems imply new
roles for public and private spheres: demand/user/citizen driven
open RDI enabled by ICT at local, regional, national and global
levels.

14. Connected Smart Cities Network (1/2)
• Connected Smart Cities Network was launched under the EU-funded (7th
Framework Programme) FIREBALL-project on November 18th, 2010 by the
cities of Amsterdam, Manchester, Lisbon, Barcelona and Helsinki.
• Connected Smart Cities Network aims at the convergence of Future
Internet technologies, Living Labs methodologies and social innovation
focused on the well being of citizens and sustainability of our society.
• Smart Cities across Europe engage in long-term collaboration for adopting
User Driven Open Innovation to explore solutions addressing the major
societal challenges faced by Europe, such as jobs creation, clean energy,
sustainable mobility, climate change, ageing population, etc.

17. EU Policy on Smart Specialization
and Regional Living Labs
• Smart Specialization can be achieved through Regional
Living Labs, sharing a similar vision, values, strategies,
methodologies and implementation.
• The implementation of Smart Specialization of Regions
can thus become a bottom-up process, building on the
Regional Living Labs and taking advantage of:
– User engagement at the local level;
– Openness, transparency and creativity culture of Living
Labs;
– Existing networks and cross-border collaboration;
– Existing trust among the different regional, national and
international stakeholders.

18. Open Living Labs PPPP (1/2)
• We want to strengthen the open Research Development and Innovation
ecosystem of the growing community of European Living Labs,
institutionally, financially and in terms of its RDI infrastructure, including
new avenues of research and experimentation in social and other sciences.
• This can be supported through the constitution of a Public Private People
Partnership - Open Living Labs PPPP ‐ having the potential to change
dramatically the innovation landscape in Europe in Horizon 2020.
• A white paper has been co-created and validated by a large community of
Living Labs extended to a wider community of Innovation related
organisation.
• Paper being re-drafted with the inclusion of success cases and impact
assessment.

19. Open Living Labs PPPP (2/2)
• Strategic Innovation Ecosystems, large‐scale pilot initiatives aiming
to stimulate the growth and development of Living Lab innovation
ecosystems across a broad spectrum of sectors and at different
levels of governance.
• Enabling Actions, four strands of activity (plus one support action)
covering a range of areas that support and reinforce the strategic
innovation ecosystems and defined as:
– Knowledge Creation
– Talent Development, Capacity Building, and Job Creation – New Policy
Instruments
– Organizing the national, regional and local structures (co-funding
mechanism enabling different instruments)
– International Cooperation Coordination, Dissemination and
Engagement

20. Conclusions
• The big global challenges of our time demand mass
participation of users/consumers/citizens. Finding solutions
requires the pooling of diverse types of knowledge and
resources, and harnessing the motivation of millions of
individuals and their communities.
• Technologies are not sufficient to solve the challenges in a
sustainable way, user behaviour transformation is required
and this can be enabled by the Living Lab methodologies.
• Future Internet technologies, Living Labs and Social
Innovation enable the co-creation of Smart Regions and
Smart Cities where citizens sense of belonging and identity,
wellbeing and togetherness, form a better and happier
society.
