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

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 innovation strategy that increases the chance your products become a commercial success.

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
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL
EUROPE Programme co-financed by the ERDF

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.
