3. What is (the value of)
a Living Lab?
• Living Lab is a real-life test and experimentation environment
where users and producers co-create innovations
• Public-Private-People Partnership (PPPP), quattro helix by main 4
main stakeholders (companies, researchers, public organisations
and users) come together for creation, prototyping, validating and
testing new technologies, services, products etc in real-life
contexts
• Many different LL environments such as research, corporate,
organisational, intermediary, time-limited…
• Empower citizens (end-users) as active co-creators (from passive
consumers to active prosumers) to of value, ideas & innovations
that benefit the whole society

4. Where does it come from and how
did it evolve into ENoLL?
• Originated for MIT (US), concept further developed in Europe
• Supported by EC as bridging the gap between R&D and market
entrance (faster take up of R&D results) and enable SMEs obstacles
on local and regional markets in the fragmented European market
place
• Linked with EC policies and initiatives EU2020, Digital Agenda,
especially through initiatives such as EIPs on Smart Cities, Active and
Healthy Ageing (AHA), Future Internet, Design …
• Several Living Lab initiatives supported by the EC (FP7, CIP ICT PSP
programme,Interreg etc) as well as national programmes
• Living Labs in the Horizon2020 ?

5. ENoLL in short (1/2)
• ENoLL launched in 2006 under the Finnish EU Presidency, grown into
a non-profit international association representing a diverse
community of over 300 ENoLL ‘certified’ Living Labs

6. ENoLL in short (2/2)
• ENoLL association is lead by ENoLL effective and associated
members (General Assembly) with elected Council
• ENoLL office in Brussels facilitating knowledge exchange, joint action
and project partnerships between its members:
• Network events to exchange information and best practice
• Disseminates information on EU funding and project opportunities, supports to
build project consortia and develop joint projects
• Influences EU policies and engages in debate with EU institutions (consultations,
workshops etc)
• ENoLL is partner in key EU-funded projects of strategic importance
and benefit to the network
• Cooperation agreements with World Bank, EBN, FAO, UNITED,
LLiSA…

7. What is coming?
• From User centric open innovation as a methodology to a
(eco)system thinking…
• Cities and regions as open Living Labs i.e Barcelona as a Lab
(European contribution to the global innovation system) e.g smart
cities, RISs, smart specialisation etc
• National and regional and thematic networks of Living Labs growing
(Finland, UK, France etc)
• Collaboration with World Bank, and further on with telecenters
network, technology parks (IASP) and EIT ICT Labs
