EU OPEN LIVING LABS
3. • The Europeana we recognize today launched in 2008 but has much deeper
roots.
• The first project that joining up national libraries online was the Gateway
and Bridge to Europe's National Libraries (GABRIEL). GABRIEL was a
guide and showcase to the collections of 43 national libraries and a model
for cooperation and networking.
• With funding from the European Commission, GABRIEL grew intoThe
European Library - a search engine and open data hub for library
collections.The European Library website launched in 2005. From 2005-
2009, theTEL-ME-MOR,TELPlus and FUMAGABA projects expandedThe
European Library with more national libraries and greater standardization
and search capabilities.
HISTORY
https://pro.europeana.eu/our-mission/history
4. • The Europeana prototype went live on 20 November 2008, a product of the
newly created European Digital Library Foundation. Museums, audio visual
archives and galleries joined the libraries, creating a common access point to
Europe’s cultural heritage. At launch, Europeana gave access to 4.5 million
digital objects. In the summer of 2010, the Europeana prototype became an
operational service.
• In January 2011, the EuropeanCommission released its ‘New Renaissance’
report which endorsed Europeana as ‘the central reference report for Europe’s
online cultural heritage’.
• In May 2015, the EuropeanCommission announced that Europeana was to
become one of its Digital Service Infrastructures (DSI).
HISTORY
https://pro.europeana.eu/our-mission/history
5. • The online portal providing access to more than 30 million digitised
cultural heritage objects from Europe's libraries, museums, archives
and audio visual collections, can facilitate the creative re-use of
digital cultural heritage content and associated metadata.
• Partners will develop a number of pilot applications focused
on design, tourism, education and social networks.
• Building on these pilots, a series of open innovation challenges will
be launched with entrepreneurs from the creative industries to
identify, incubate and spin-off more viable projects into the
commercial sector.
WHAT IS EUROPEANA CREATIVE?

6. • The project goals will be supported by an open laboratory
network (the Europeana Labs), an on- and offline environment for
experimentation with content, tools and business services, and a
licensing framework where content holders can specify the re-use
conditions for their material.The project will be supported by
continuous evaluation and business modelling development.

EUROPEANA NETWORK OF LIVING LABS
7. • The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is the international,
independent non-profit association of bench-marked living labs with more
than 340 accredited living labs worldwide.
• A living lab employs four main activities:
oCo-creation: co-design by users and producers.
oExploration: discovering emerging usages, behaviours and market
market opportunities.
oExperimentation: implementing live scenarios within communities of
communities of users.
oEvaluation: assessment of concepts, products and services according
according to socio-ergonomic, socio-cognitive and socio-economic
criteria.
WHAT IS ENOLL?
https://pro.europeana.eu/post/introducing-enoll-the-european-network-of-living-labs
8. • Living labs are real-life test and experimentation environments,
where users and producers co-create innovations, in a trusted, open
ecosystem that enables business and societal innovation.
• Living labs enable the co-creation of user-driven and human-centric
research, development and innovation of technologies, products and
services focused on the well-being of people.

9. MAIN FOCUS
• Europeana is about more than a nice-looking website.They work
with institutions across Europe to create and improve cultural
heritage data so it can be used elsewhere.Their discovery services
showcase that material so it looks great online and is where people
want to find it. And their incubation services support people
who want to use cultural heritage material in new apps, products and
services.

11. ANNUAL SUMMITS
• OpenLivingLab Days is the annual summit of the worldwide Living
Lab community.
• The annual 4 day event includes interactive sessions, workshops,
lively discussion panels with excursions and off-site visits with the
aim of giving the participants a wider insight about models, theories
and technologies related to Living Labs.
• Participants have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience from
the leading experts on the subject and to network with other Living
Lab enthusiasts.

PROJECTS
The project will
provide a significant
amount of cultural
and artistic content
about byzantine
history and culture
to europeana.
RISE OF
LITERACY
MIGRATION IN
THE ARTS AND
SCIENCE
Europeana
DSI-3
BYZANTINE
ART AND
ARCHAEOLOGY
The project Rise of
literacy will look at the
use of written text in
Europe over centuries
(from the sixth to the
twentieth century) and
tell users the story of
the rise of literacy in
European culture, as a
manifestation of a
European-wide cultural
movement.
The project Migration
in the Arts and
Sciences is linked to
the creation of a
thematic collection
about migration to,
from and within
Europe and the effects
migration has had on
European culture.
The Europeana Digital
Service Infrastructure
(DSI) showcases and
provide online access
to Europe’s cultural
and scientific heritage.
The DSI-3 project
operates the
Europeana core service
platform from mid-
2017 to mid-2018.
TEL-ME-MORE : one of the project's goals is to build inter-professional relationships between UNC's health professional schools with a focus on promoting compassionate care.
TELPlus - it aimed to OCR more than 20 million pages of content in many languages, to make library data OAI compliant and therefore harvestable, to address usability issues through improved presentation of search results and to make improvements in semantic interoperability including multilingual search and retrieval.
Research - Bringing Europe’s galleries, museums, libraries, and archives within digital reach allows researchers to access a much wider scope of material and opinion.
Framework - Provide representation of Europeana Foundation, partners and the Europeana Network
Creative - practical resources to start building with cultural collections as quickly and easily as possible, including openly licensed, thematic datasets and four free APIs. Explore how we can help you fund your idea through online challenges and match funding calls. Discover examples of applications using Europeana.
Institution - All across Europe, museums, galleries, libraries and archives are digitizing their collections so that anyone anywhere can explore and learn from them.
Institutions -
Europeana Cloud will change the way that data is sent to Europeana, and will give researchers new tools to enrich and use that data.
In ENUMERATE, we create a reliable baseline of statistical data about digitization, digital preservation and online access to cultural heritage in Europe.
meSch has the goal of designing, developing and deploying tools for the creation of tangible interactive experiences that connect the physical dimension of museums and exhibitions with relevant digital cross-media information in novel ways.
The aim of the MIMO project was to create a single access point to digital content and information on the collections of musical instruments held in European museums.
