Health and Wellbeing Living Lab Symposium PresentationsVITALISEProject
The Health and Wellbeing Living Lab Symposium is dedicated to showcasing the outcomes of the VITALISE project, which focuses on harmonizing Living Lab services and procedures while recognizing Living Labs as integral Research Infrastructures. Over the past three years, a collaborative effort among Living Labs in Health has actively demonstrated the significance of Living Labs as Research Infrastructures, effectively representing the global Living Lab community. The work undertaken in VITALISE aligns with the overarching vision of Living Labs developed over the last 15 years, manifesting in project results that advance the recognition and quality of harmonized Living Labs.
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101007990 The symposium's primary objective is to engage in collective reflection with the European Commission and relevant stakeholders and beneficiaries of Research Infrastructures. The aim is to discuss and plan the next steps toward a new era where Research Infrastructures are open and actively involve communities as powerful tools for co-research.
PhD presentation for the public defense of the dissertation entitled 'Bridging the gap between Open and User Innovation? Exploring the value of Living Labs as a means to structure user contribution and manage distributed innovation.' This was a joint PhD between Ghent University and the VUB.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

Living Labs 101: benefits,
pitfalls, and challenges
Francesca Spagnoli (ENoLL)
21. Living Labs 101: benefits, pitfalls, and
challenges
What is a Living Lab?
Living Labs are real-life test and experimentation environments that foster co-creation
and open innovation among the main actors of the Quadruple Helix Model.
22
VITALISESummerSchool 2023
22. And what is not a Living Lab?
❑ A Test Bed is a “Pre-Living Lab” setting enabling rigorous, transparent, and replicable testing of
scientific theories, computational tools and new technologies in a controlled environment (not in real-
life), with users often represented mainly by researchers. Compared to Living Labs, they show a
smaller scaleand level of analysis (e.g. one building compared to a city).
❑ A Fablab: “fabrication laboratory” is a small-scale workshop offering digital fabrication. A fab lab is
typically equipped with an array of flexible computer-controlled tools that cover several different
length scales and various materials, for developing technology-enabled products to mass
production.
❑ A Home Lab (originated at MIT with Prof. Mitchell) they focused on testing and adapting new
technologies based on their fit with the daily home environment.
23
VITALISESummerSchool 2023
23. Why using Living Labs?
• Living Labs provide a real-life environment for testing and validating innovations, especially when
addressing wicked problems that are complex, dynamic, and often involve multiple stakeholders
• Living Labs are a powerful tool for co-creating solutions that address complex societal challenges
• Living Labs involve end-users in the innovation process, ensuring solutions are tailored to their needs
• Living Labs enable collaboration between different stakeholders, including researchers, industry partners,
and communities
• Living Labs facilitate rapid iteration and prototyping of solutions, leading to faster innovation cycles
• Living Labs provide valuable insights into the adoption and sustainability of innovations in the long run
• Living Labs help bridge the gap between research and market uptake, leading to more impactful
innovations
By leveraging the strengths of Living Labs, we can create innovative solutions that meet the needs of end-
users while also driving societal impact.
24
VITALISESummerSchool 2023
24. When to Use Living Labs?
Living labs are particularly effective for innovation, co-creation, and evaluation in real-world contexts.
They provide valuable insights into how people interact with new ideas, products, and services,
informing further development.
Living labs are well-suited for addressing wicked problems, which are complex and difficult to solve.
They offer a participatory and holistic approach to problem-solving,involving stakeholders and users in
the design and evaluation process.
Living labs can be applied to a wide range of wicked problems, such as climate change, social justice,
health and well-being, and education and learning.
In summary, living labs provide a flexible and adaptable innovation approach that can help create
positive change in society by addressing wicked problems through collaborative and participatory
processes.
25
VITALISESummerSchool 2023
25. Quadruple helix
Industry, Academia, Public
Authorities and Citizens are part of
the so-called Quadruple Helix
model (QHM), where users are
placed at the heart of the
innovation ecosystem.
This means that citizens/users
must be considered as actors, not
factors, of the innovation process.
26
▪ VITALISE Summer School 2023
26. Essential building blocks
27
The Living Lab operates as the
orchestrator within the ecosystemto
connect and partner up with relevant
stakeholders.
Taking a holistic view on society,
involving stakeholders from the
quadruple helix model: government,
academia, private sector and citizens.
A Living Lab involves relevant stakeholders
‘actively’ in all relevant activities, ensuring their
feedback is captured and implemented throughout
the whole lifecycle of the innovation.
In a Living Lab values are bottom-up co-
created not only for but also by all relevant
stakeholders, ensuring a higher adoption at
the end.
A Living Lab operates in the real-life setting of
the end users, infusing innovations into their
real life instead of moving the user to test sites
to explore the innovations.
Each Living Lab activity is problem driven. Therefore,
the methodological approach towards every individual
activity will be selected based on the expected
outcomes of the activity and the stakeholders who
needs to be involved.

32. Value creation and value chain in a Living Lab
Creating a viable business model that offers value to all different types of new and/or involved
stakeholders is key to the sustainability of a Living Lab. Critical elements to be considered are, for
example, funding sources, value proposition, lean approach, impact, purpose, and key metrics.
In addition, all the phases of a lifecycle approach should be considered: from ideation to design,
experimentation and validation. Important aspects in this part of the evaluation are, among others,
proof of integration of the Living Lab operations into innovation ecosystems, SWOT-analysis of a Living
Lab, a roadmap for the future, and a value chain approach throughout the operations of a Living Lab.

34. Open innovation process within Living Labs
35
The basic premise of Open Innovation, is to open
up the innovation process to all active players so
that knowledge can circulate more freely and be
transformed into sustainable products and
services for all.
Innovation can no longer be the result of
predefined and isolated activities but the outcome
of a complex co-creation process involving
knowledge flows and absorptive capacities from
all actors involved across the entire economic and
social environment (European Commission, 2016).

of persons living with physical disabilities
43
▪ In Quebec, 17 % of the people have a disability. In
those 65 years and more the percentage is 42 % and
in Montreal 48 %
▪ Although rehabilitation can address limitations
accompanying stroke, traumatic brain injury or other
acquired neurological conditions there is minimal
return to the community or resumption of daily
ativities.

▪ Development (D) = Systematic exploration and development of new or
enhance existing solutions (e.g. products, services, processes, methods
or technologies) by investigating and testing hypotheses, conducting
feasibility studies, and prototyping.
▪ Innovation (I) = Process of creating and implementing new ideas,
methods, products, or processes that result in significant improvements,

• Laboratory Environment: An environment that does not address in any manner the
environment to be encountered by the solution or its subsystem, or component during its
intended operation. It is a facility providing controlled conditions in which scientific or
technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed. In living lab
context, laboratory can also refer to common “office” facilities such as meeting room or office
desk. Covers TRL steps from 1 to 4.
• Relevant Environment: Relevant environment is the specific subset of the operational
environment that is required to demonstrate critical "at risk" aspects of the final product
performance in an operational environment. Relevant environments include e.g. virtual,
modelling and simulation environments as well as field environments (i.e. real-world settings)
where researchers can simulate physical or social phenomena in controlled way. It is an
environment that focuses specifically on "stressing" the solution advance in question. Covers
TRL steps from 5 to 6.
• Operational Environment: The environment in which the final solution will be operated.
Covers TRL steps from 7 to 9.

In regulation 1291/2013, the EU Parliament and Council of the EU define Research Infrastructure (RI) as
“facilities, resources and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and foster
innovation in their fields”. Living lab RIs consist
▪ Single-sited facility: Unified single body of equipment at one physical location
– Laboratory or smart home
▪ Distributed facility: Facilities, resources and services that are geographically scattered in multiple
location
– City, city district, outdoor space (e.g. nature/hiking trails)
– Sensor networks, network of homes
▪ Virtual access-based facility: Resources and services that are exclusively available via online internet
based tools.
– Access and ability storage scientific data and repositories, tools for virtual collaboration, various
computer services,
▪ Mobile facility: Facilities and resources which can be easily moved to from one place to another

111. Living labs should establish as many partnerships as posible
By definition living lab as an apporach is grounded on multi-stakeholder collaboration. Important for a living lab is
try to establish as many partnerships as posible. Living lab partner and customer relationships are typically
grounded on long-term relationships.
Typical partnership approaches:
Citizen driven partnership model: collaboration with NGOs
Local authority driven partnership model: Collaboration with local municipal and/or city authorities.
Industry driven partnership model: founded on establishing customership with device manufacturers and /or digital
service providers.
Intermediary (or widespread) partnership model: combining multiple partnership models or seeking seek
partnerships with as many partner type as posible.
State level cluster partnership model

Living lab business model
• Focused business model represent a strategy when a living lab has selected only few business model attributes
highly important
• Maxed-out business model represent and opposite strategy since all most all attributes are considered highly
important
• Balance business model aims to avoid the extreme selections

Support from policy makers as main revenue for living lab - Actually
Project grant and basic fixed funding are clearly the most dominating revenue sources for living labs.
Living lab revenues are mainly depending on their ability write winning funding proposals while providing
grant writing support services other stakeholders can help to win the projects.
Grant writing support services are especially emphasized by those living labs, who highlight it in their value
promise, and also provide education and training services. These activities are interlinked to local authority
driven partnership model and are grounded on long-term direct relationships.
Tendency to diversify the revenue source portfolio in the future. All other revenue source options, but project
grants and equipment/device retail, are expected to increase their importance, but are not reaching to same
level as the grants and fixed funding.
The economically sustainable living lab business model requires support from policy makers for example by
providing funding instruments for SMEs and startups to test and co-create their solutions with living labs.
The personnel costs are the most important cost element now and in the future. Living lab activities as a
user-centered approach are grounded on the interaction between various groups of people and the second
important cost the infrastructure and facility cost that are expected to increase.
Invest more on marketing and sales, which so far have been modest. This should help living labs to raise
awareness especially among SMEs and start-ups, who currently are not familiar with living lab services.

Governance
115. What is the project governance model? Ozeanlab
Governance refers to all those mechanisms, processes and rules through which people or sectors and their
different interests and effects on the marine environment are managed:
▪ Within the framework of Ozeanlab, governance must ensure compliance with the established conservation
objectives and measures and sustain coherence between management, coordination, communication and
exchange of experiences between the different spaces that weave said network.
▪ At the local level, it must contribute significantly to the search for solutions to make the uses and activities
in a certain space compatible with the natural values present and for which different protection figures were
designated by the Member States of the European Commission (LIC, ZEC or ZEPA).
The strategy maintains that an institutional structure is necessary that responds to the
characteristics and needs of each territory, that facilitates the integration of the agents involved in the
collective processes of planning, inquiry and learning, as well as in decision-making and management.
of conflicts.
The governance strategy model is based on values that must permeate all actions. At the local
level, it is developed from governance bodies or structures, created according to the needs of each
territory, which perform a series of essential functions through participatory processes with four main
purposes.

Values
Inclusion
and representativeness
Transparency and
scope
Shared leadership, dialogueand respect Accountability
117. Values
▪ Inclusion and representativeness: all people and organizations linked are actively
present in the processes and have access to participation, ensuring a weighted and
legitimized representativeness that includes minorities and marginalized sectors or those
with difficulties to participate, having the necessary time and resources.
▪ Shared leadership, dialogue and respect for diversity: democratization of the processes
and care of people and relationships in periodic interaction spaces that will promote trust,
collaboration, shared responsibility and balance and justice among all interests, prioritizing
the conservation of marine biodiversity.
▪ Transparency and scope: Clearly transmit the scope of the processes, as well as make
the documentation and evaluation systems of governance processes and actions
accessible, in a desire for mutual learning and continuous improvement. In addition, the
dissemination of information, the exchange and transfer of knowledge and experiences will
be favored, as well as the creation, strengthening and consolidation of networks.
▪ Accountability: with mechanisms for assigning responsibilities and commitments,
according to the scope of action, establishing a follow-up of the agreements and
disagreements reached, and informing about the consequences of the policies. 118
118. Governance
Why promote participation in the governance
▪ Participation is democracy and democracy is participation. Planning and management open
to the points of view of interested persons are highly desirable from a democratic perspective.
Participatory planning and management experiences indicate that participation can contribute
to greater effectiveness and efficiency in the management of protected areas and conservation
projects.
▪ Participatory processes are valuable and necessary tools that allow for better diagnoses,
favoring inquiry and comparison of different points of view and enriching the quality of
decision-making for the effective management of the living labs .
▪ The concept of “governance” emphasizes the urgent need to weave networks of participation
and dialogue, conflict resolution and decision-making to find the most appropriate and
effective solutions in the complex management of protected marine areas.

Participation is not improvised, it is designed and planned.
Design and planning make it possible to anticipate difficulties, adequately
size resources, instruments, means or channels at different times, and give a
specific and effective response to a problem or need depending on the
situation and its context. This favors the quality and transparency of the
process and, in turn, improves the relationship between users and managers
to guarantee the maintenance or restoration in a favorable state of
conservation of certain types of habitats and marine species.
120. The four goals of participatory processes
▪ Collective inquiry and mutual learning: to identify new needs or make new proposals that improve
the operation of the space, both at the level of management and of participation and transparency,
involving science, entities and people with traditional local knowledge, socioeconomic sectors, public
administration, etc.
▪ Decision-making: to decide and generate co-responsibility in all parties on those relevant aspects,
concerning the scope of action, whether in relation to the objectives and measures provided for in the
management instruments or in other areas of communication, monitoring or evaluation of the process
▪ Conflict management: to address those conflicts and interests that are contradictory or contrary to the
conservation objectives of the space that may arise, to transform them into sources of learning and
opportunities for social improvement at both the sectoral and institutional levels.
▪ Celebration and recognition: By organizing events or spaces that foster trust, cohesion and a sense
of belonging to the protected marine space, as well as celebrating achievements and meeting
objectives.
121
121. Design of participatory processes in living labs
122
Previous considerations for effective participatory processes:
▪ Clarity and relevance of objectives: coherence, transparency and clarity about
where we want to go with the participatory process is essential to avoid
generating false expectations.
▪ Consensus: the greater the consensus on the need, objectives and
methodologies of a participatory process (from the political, technical or social
spheres) the greater its chances of success.
▪ Leadership: although a core group coordinates the process, a shared
leadershipwill guarantee its plurality and transparency.
▪ Political: will seek recognition and political accompaniment from the beginning
of the process, so that its results are institutionally legitimized and are
implementedeffectively.
122. Design of participatory processes in living labs
123
Previous considerations for effective participatory processes:
▪ Implication: adding the diverse discourses, knowledge and sensitivities of
society, including perspectives that are not usually considered (such as that of
gender or that of migrants) gives plurality and strength to the process.
▪ Integration with other participation systems: coordinate with the bodies
andexisting participation structures in the territory, so as not to duplicate efforts
and saturatethe people and organizations involved
125. 126
In order to guarantee the quality of the essential functions of the governance structurein
living labs, the participatory processes that develop them must be elaborated considering
the phases of preparation, design, development and evaluation within which various steps
must be taken into account.
These steps should not be taken as something rigid that must be followed at face value, in
that only order. Rather, it is a list of actions to be checked to assess if they contribute, and
in what way, to achieving the objectives of the process specifically in each case.

EXERCISE FOR THE PARTICIPATOY APPROACH LIVING LAB
METHODOLOGY.
After the closing today, we are planning a visit to the Athletic Football Club
Museum, which is working in a specific program to stimulate elderly people
with Alzheimer's "With the Athletic in the memory".
https://athleticclubfundazioa.eus/con-el-athletic-en-la-memoria/
Reminiscence workshop carried out in the field of the Athletic Club, San
Mamés.
128. 129
This initiative, organized by the FEAFV (Spanish Federation of Associations of Veteran Soccer Players) with the
collaboration of the AEA (Association of Former Athletic Club Soccer Players) and the Athletic Club
Foundation, aims to bring out the old memories of the elderly in the face of stimuli associated with his
experiences with Athletic and thus help fight Alzheimer's or other types of dementia.
After the closing, , we are planning a visit to the Athletic Football Club Stadium and to have some drinks to
close.
EXERCISE ABOUT GOVERNANCE: VALUES RELATED TO

WITH ATHLETIC IN MEMORY
Barandiaran Residence in Durango have visited San
Mamés in a new edition of the Reminiscence
Workshops
A dozen people with neurodegenerative diseases from the
Barandiaran Residence in Durango have participated in a new
editionof the Reminiscence Workshops organized by the FEAFV
(Spanish Federation of Veteran Soccer Associations), and with the
collaboration of the AEA (Association of Ex-Athletic Club Soccer
Players) and the Athletic Club Foundation.
130. 131
The reminiscence day consisted of a guided visit to the
Club Museum and a subsequent tour of the San Mamés
pitch. The old memories of the elderly surface before the
stimuli associated with their experiences with Athletic
and serve as a stimulus to fight Alzheimer's. The ex-
soccer players who have accompanied the elderly during
therapy have been José Ángel Iribar , president of the
AEA, Tzibi Juaristi , Pablo Otaolea and Gontzal Suances , in
his double capacity as ex-player and representative of the
Athletic Club Foundation.

136. What is co-creation?
▪ ▪“Co-creation is about involving stakeholders, particularly end users in
the innovation of technologies and services” [1]
▪ ▪“Co-creation of value”: as the outcome of a co-design process with no
value created until the service is consumed [2]
▪ ▪“Active, creative and social collaboration process between producers
and customers”

exchange of opinions, thoughts... between
different players involved in the development
of a service and/or product.
138. Why co-creation?
Change the Footer from "Insert"/ "Header and Footer" 139
• The purpose of co-creation between customers, providers and third
parties is to stimulate change [3]
• Co-creation in Living Labs is important because users
place importance on the value that emerges while the process is of little
account to them [4]

1. Focus groups
to analyse and gather feedback on a products, services and marketing campaigns. It usually
brings together 5 to 10 people and always has a moderator to lead the exchange of ideas.
2. Workshops
a type of event that brings together people interested in learning more about a particular
topic. It is a kind of training for the development of specific skills through practical activities.
3. Interviews
a structuredconversation where one participant asks questions, and the other provides
answers. In common parlance, the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one conversation
between an interviewer and an interviewee.
4. Surveys
a research method used for collecting data from a predefined group of respondents to gain
information and insights into various topics of interest.
5. Usage tests
monitoring users using your solution witnessing what turns up
Co-creationsessionby UPM – VITALISESummerSchool2023
150. Newest techniques
151
1. Design thinking - bring together differentexperiences,opinions and perspectives on a problem in order to
create innovations that focus on the user and solve his problems inthe best possible way.
2. World café - the actors involved in the innovation process can be brought into conversation with each other in
orderto discuss problemsand questions in small groups
3. Open Space - Participants communicate topics (e.g. frailties due to age) they have chosenthemselves to the
plenum and initiate their own working groups.
4. Service blueprint - is a method for visualizing integrative processes,i.e. processesthat are
characterized by the integration of resources of several actors. This allows customers and other stakeholders to be included
in the process map and their view of the process.
5. Usage tests - understood as the intention of potential users to adopt an innovative offer,is a necessary
condition formarket success.
