 The Living Labs methodology has been applied in two consecutive
steps
 Phase 1: Identification of domain specific requirements
o Open Call For Ideas (Official Journal no. 46 of 29/03/2012)
in order to collect and bring together themes,
requirements, problems and challenges highlighted by
the final users belonging to the extended partnership (see
below) – thus forming a Requirements Catalogue.
o Opening-up of the Living Labs Partnership Catalogue,
where local Associations, Public Bodies, Research
Laboratories could register themselves as proposers of
user led needs and requirements and at the same time,
potential partners of ERDF funded projects aiming to
provide solutions to those challenges.
