What is a Living Lab?
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 innovation
in their normal real life/work contexts.

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

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 more
and 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 reallife 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.”

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.“
