LIVING LABS
• User-driven open innovation ecosystems based
on business – citizens – government
partnerships which enable users to take part an
active part in:
• Bringing users early into the co-creation
process
• Bridging the innovation gap between
technology development and the
uptake of new products and services
• Allowing for early assessment of the
socio-economic implications of new
technological solutions



LIVING LABS BENEFITS
TO REGIONS
• Promote RTD in the regional context

• Foster Open Innovation in regional ICT businesses

• Increase inward RTD investment from big players

• Apply ICT RTD to issues of regional interest

• Promote diffusion of ICT co-design in target areas

• Stimulate social innovation in user groups



THE EUROPEAN NETWORK
OF LIVING LABS
• The European Network of Living
Labs (ENoLL) - the international
federation of benchmarked Living
Labs in Europe and worldwide.

• Founded in November 2006 under
the auspices of the Finnish European
Presidency.

• 5 Waves have been finished,
resulting in 62 new accepted Living
Labs (total 274 LL).

• The living lab approach is a new

GENERAL OBJECTIVES
• Transfers approach and methodology of the TN MED programme’s
MedLab project.

• Aim is to transform Central Europe into a broad-reaching laboratory for
innovation.

• Based on a promising approach in the arena of ICT under the name “Living
Lab”. Technology R&D brings infrastructures into real-life contexts to
enable a “co-design” process with end users.

• Method ensures greater relevance and faster time to market for R&D
results (demonstrated by the 274 Living Labs in the ENoLL network).

• Bottom-up approach (using pilot method).



SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
• to develop a trans-national Central European Living
Lab based on:

• the deep integration of the Living Lab approach into regional policy

• the trans-national framework of ICT product and service R&D

• the governance of territorial innovation



MAIN ACTIVITIES
• A survey of the current potential for application of the CentraLab
approach (innovation policies, on-going R&D, and development
initiatives).

• New policy framework that increases the knowledge economy component
of regional development initiatives in a range of fields.

• A coordinated set of trans-national pilot projects: Eco-tourism, Energy,
Micro-SME Networks, Media & Creativity, Mobility, Environment &
Education, Climate Change, Waste Management, Rural Development, and
eHealth.

• A strategic governance work package.



PILOT THEMES
• Eco-tourism
• Energy
• Micro-SME networks
• Media and creativity
• Mobility
• Environment and education
• Climate change
• Waste management
• Rural development
• eHealth



TARGET GROUPS
• Regional Programming Authorities,
• Regional Development Agencies,
• Local Chambers of Commerce,
• Local authorities and municipalities,
• ICT industry and SMEs,
• University departments,
• Private and public research centres,
• Local businesses,
• Local associations and cooperatives (e.g. LEADER+ LAGs), NGOs,
• Pilot specific stakeholders,
• Media.



MAIN OUTCOMES
• R&D roadmap identifying the innovative ICT service requirements defined
through the Living Lab user driven approach.

• The development policy implications derived from the concrete
experiences of mixing R&D with local development initiatives.

• The governance models arising from the MoUs (Memoranda's of
Understandings) framing the pilot projects and their integration into the
Central European-wide Living Lab.

• A richly interactive web site and articulated set of Policy Briefing
documents together with an aggressive media strategy and extensive
calendar of events.
