The first open
User community services
European Network of Living Labs
A Living Lab is an open innovation environment in real-life
settings in which user-driven innovation is the co-creation
process for new services, products and societal infrastructures.
Living Labs encompass societal and technological dimensions
simultaneously in a business-citizens-government-academia
partnership. As of 20 November 2006, a “First Wave” of
nineteen Living Labs across Europe joined forces as a network,
to develop and offer a gradually growing set of networked
Living Lab services. As of 17 October 2007, a “Second Wave”
with thirty-two additional Living Labs, and as of 25 November
2008, the “Third Wave” respectively brought to the
consolidation of the network by means of sixty-eight additional
network members. Finally, the “Fourth Wave” concluded on
April 14, 2010 embraced eighty-three new members into its
network: ENoLL is now based on a total of 212 Living Labs
(the figure includes also 25 affiliated Living Labs from non
European Countries).
Moving the Goal Posts
- a vision of open innovation
This vision is about moving the goal posts from a position
where the user is seen as a traditional stakeholder and consumer
of industry led innovations, to a position where the user and
user communities are contributors and co-creators of new
innovations.
In order to make a move towards this future, a network of
Living Labs is looking at the “Innovation Lifecycle” {figure
above} and beginning to offer and create specialised services
for all necessary actors in the system; end-users, SME’s,
corporations, public sector and academia.
Services
The Living Lab sites will already from the beginning offer site
specific services such as: Need-finding services, Public
Innovation services, Test & Validation services, Business
Incubation support services, Collaborative Mediation services
and Innovation externalisation services. The emerging new
services include: Services to empower users, personalisation &
customisation, Idea Generation services, Professional
Community services, Pervasive expertise sharing and Lead
Roadmap
The network is led by the Living Labs Portfolio Leadership
Group and is composed by the Living Labs selected in the four
waves. This development uses a joint Living Labs roadmap
2007-2010 process, facilitated by the EU Coordination Action
projects CoreLabs and CLOCK and the Thematic Networks
CO-LLABS and APOLLON, focusing on development of
Europe wide multi-site Living Labs Pilots.
The network development roadmap is, and will continue to be,
coordinated with EU Presidencies as appropriate, and the
roadmap currently includes the following main milestones:
Date Milestone
November Finnish Presidency: ENoLL "First Wave"
2006 launch event in Helsinki
October Portuguese Presidency: ENoLL "Second Wave"
2007 launch event in Brussels
November French Presidency: ENoLL "Third Wave" launch
2008 event in Lyon and consolidation of the network
April Spanish Presidency: ENoLL “Fourth Wave”
2010 launch event in Valencia
How can I take part?
Partnership
Typically, a Living Lab site is based on a sustainable Business-
Citizens-Government-Academia Partnership and all sites
welcome new organisations for discussion about partnership
extension. If you consider yourself mainly as end-user
(individual citizen) you may consider joining the site-specific
end-user community. If you represent a private company,
university, regional authority or other government organisation,
you may contact the ENoLL Secretariat (info@enoll.org) for a
discussion on how to join as a Living Lab partner with the
objective to become sustainably engaged in its development
and operations.
Open Community - Let’s Meet Up!
The Living Labs Open Innovation Community is the open
forum for development of Living Lab services, supporting the
Lisbon strategy for Growth and Jobs. Whether or not you
belong to the network (as a Living Lab site) you are warmly
welcome to join. Just click the “open innovation community”
link at the web-site (www.openlivinglabs.eu/community.html)
and follow the instructions. Being a true open community, we
will organize and develop our community activities together.
Let’s meet up!
