The document discusses European living labs and open innovation ecosystems. It notes that global challenges require diverse knowledge and mass collaboration. Living labs are open, user-driven ecosystems that engage stakeholders to stimulate collaboration and co-create solutions. The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) connects over 300 living labs across Europe and beyond to support open innovation.

be
achieved
through

sharing
a
similar

• The

of

can
thus
become
a

process,
building

– Openness,

of

– Exis>ng

– Exis>ng

• The
big
global
challenges
of
our
<me
demand
mass
par<cipa<on
of
users/consumers/ci<zens.
Finding
solu>ons
requires
the
pooling
of
diverse
types
of
knowledge
and
resources,
and
harnessing
the
mo>va>on
of
millions
of
individuals
and
their
communi>es.
• Technologies
are
not
sufficient
to
solve
the
challenges
in
a
sustainable
way,
user
behaviour
transforma>on
is
required
and
this
can
be
enabled
by
the
Living
Lab
methodologies.
• Future
Internet
technologies,
Living

and
Social

enable
the
co-­‐crea>on
of
Smart
Regions
and
Smart
Ci<es
where

of

and

and
