The document discusses the Iberoamerican Research Network on new Models of Open Innovation based on Users (Iberoamerican Network of Citizen Labs). It is a CYTED Program supported by science and technology ministeries from 22 Iberoamerican countries. The network aims to make an inventory of living labs in Latin America by exploring initiatives, producing a dossier of best practices. Next steps include concluding the 2013 conference, expanding membership, and signing an MoU with ENoLL.
