An Introduction to the Living Labs Initiative and European Network of Living Labs

1. An Introduction to theLiving Labs Initiative and European Network of Living Labs Bring Science and Innovation Closer to the Citizen!

2. Where originated the Living Lab Initiative? Living Lab initiative originated within the AMI@Work Communities http://www.ami-communities.eu

3. At the beginning, the Living Labs initiative was a Special Interest Group

4. What was the Living Lab Context?

5. A Living Lab is a system for building a future economy in which real-life user-centric innovation and research will be the normal co-creation technique for new products, services and societal structures A Living Lab instruments and stimulates ”pilot users” to take active part in, and leverage from, research and innovationin their normal real life/work contexts. What is a Living Lab?

6. What are the elements of a Living Lab?

10. What is the role of the CoreLabs Project? Co-ordinate instrumentation and establishment ofa European Network of Living Labs, as to become a sustainable driver of advanced Research and Innovation

11. What are the Key Challenges? • Overcoming the failure of network efficiency; creation of mechanisms to generate network efficiency • Overcoming the failures of collaborative open innovation • Developing new forms, methods and processes (including management and coordination) of user-centric innovation • Establishing regionally connected networks of innovation • Establishing effective operational instruments • Engaging in European-wide awareness creation • Establishing policies that support and strengthen the potential of Living Labs

12. Setting-up the Living Lab Open Innovation Community

13. Setting-up the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL)

14. LivingLab Living Lab Network LivingLab LivingLab Why to set-up a Living Lab Network? • Network Values • SIZE • Critical Mass • Economy of Scale • ”Market” Coverage • DIVERSITY • Total Competence • Increased Creativity • Mass-customisation Action ”Levels” Improvement of individual LL services LL Network enabled Services Joint Open Innovation Community Activities Coordinated National & Regional Policy Making

17. What’s the difference between ENoLL and LL-Open? European Network of Living Labs”association”ENoLL Living LabOpen InnovationCommunityLL-Open • Closed Community of LL sites • ”1st wave” of 19 LLs • Selection from portfolio network • ”2nd wave” of 32 LLs • Criteria Based Selection • Open Community of Individuals • ~ 700 persons registered • All will be invited to submit ”3rd wave” LL applications

18. What’s the Roadmap of the European Network of Living Labs?

26. Who are the First and Second Waves of Living Labs?

27. Where are located the First and Second Waves of Living Labs?

28. WHERE ARE WE? Today • ENoLL Entity and Sustainability • Joint LL action as supported network entity • Self-governed and self-sustainable network • ENoLL Establishment and Value Creation • Assisted LL group with ”shared commons” • LL-exchange and network value creation • LL/ENoLL Initial Instrumentation • Definition and Reference Model • Instrumentation (Methods, Tools, Org. etc)

29. Are Living Labs a topic of the EU 7th Framework Research Program?

30. ENoLL basis in i2010 policy Initial i2010 Communication and Staff Report: 2nd cluster: Innovation and investment in research “Strengthening Innovation and Investment in ICT research to promote growth and moreand better jobs” : “Developing a European Network of Living Labs in the concept of eWork, providing services of large deployment to the industry, bringing technology test-beds into real-life user environments.” i2010 Second Annual Report: ”Launch of a European Network of Living Labs, 20.11.2006: The European Network of Living Labs creates a platform where firms, public authorities and citizens can work together on developing and testing new technologies, business models and services in real-life contexts. The ultimate aim is to set up a new European Innovation Infrastructure where users play an active role in innovation.” CoreLabs Workshop - Brussels 26 February 2007Footer

31. Living Labs in European innovation vision Helsinki Manifesto – 20/11/2006 “The European Network of Living Labs establishes a European platform for collaborative and co-creative innovation, where the users are involved in and contribute to the innovation process. This approach should ensure that common methodologies and tools are developed across Europe that support, stimulate and accelerate the innovation process. The European Network of Living Labs also has a strong regional growth and development impact by facilitating and fostering regional innovation as interlinked with a European innovation system with a global reach.“ CoreLabs Workshop - Brussels 26 February 2007Footer
