Social events

The programmeis structured in following groups of activities:

WorkshopsThe Summer School will include three different kind of workshops:

- Core workshops- Domain workshops- Case Study workshops

The first ones are related with fundamental issues of the Living Lab movement: what LLs are about, role in the new innovation systems, the creation of PPP, management and sustainability, role of LLs in innovation societies, LLs methodologies,... The “Special Sessions”, organized by ENoLL, will complement the core work-shops.

The second ones are related with specific topics where LLs can

have a direct impact, like energy, media and culture, manufactu-ring, tourism and hospitality, learning, entrepreneurship and job creation, active aging and wellness, smart cities, ...

A case study workshop is a workshop centered in the study of an specific user case living lab project.

All the workshops are designed to help the participants in advancing their own projects. Complementary “Meet Your Coach sessions” are personalized mechanisms where each participant, individually or in small groups, will have the possibility to discuss doubts and problems with their own assistant. Finally, the “Networking sessions” are designed to meet partnerships and future relationships with other participants.

a) Core Workshops (CW)

CW 1. State of the Art of Living Lab and its role in the innovation systemsMarc Pallot/Marco Ferruza

The study of current Living Labs

structures will help to understand how

this new ecosystems works and

evolves. This workshop is based in an

empirical analysis of the reality of LLs

after several years of existence. It also

includes the emerging relationship

between Living Labs and other actors

in the innovation systems like science

parks, technology centers, ... An special

attention will be devoted to the

building of sustainable people, private

and public partnerships. CW2. Living Labs, economic

development and job creationRoberto Santoro/ Jordi Colobrans

Living Labs are begining to show their

potential in the creation of jobs and

companies. People, private and

public partnerships are transforming

the way we think about unemploy-

ment. Instead of “searching for a job”,

Living Labs are fostering the entrepre-

neurial mindset helping youngsters “to

invent their own job” instead. A new

kind of entrepreneurship is possible

through Living Labs.

CW3. Living Lab methodologies: Learning to innovateBrigitte Trousse/Esteve Almirall/Artur Serra

From the traditional approach of

what methodologies can facilitate

user engagement we are moving to

a more practical approach training

users how to innovate. Learning by

development, co-creation, program-

ming for all, Personal Learning

Environments (PLEs), ... are some of

the new ways we are exploring to

solve the key issue of user involve-

ment in the innovation processes.

This new approach is forcing Living

Labs to blend the innovation system

with the education and training

system. Is user involvement in

innovation a learning process?.

CW4. Sustainable management models for LLsATOS Origin/Carlos Bezos

Living Labs need continuity, sustai-

nability. It is important to know how

some LLs experiences are giving

duration to the work. Beyond initial

funding from European or national

projects, Living Labs need to

develop service models and

strategic alliances evolving into

persistent structures in their own

respective domain or territory.

b) Domain Workshops (DW)DW1. Innovative experiences for active aging and well-being Carlos Bezos/Tuija Hirvikoski

Seniorlab is a civic project recognising

the value of the applied experience

and ideas of seniors for health, employ-

ment and social integration within the

framework of the knowledge society. It

is a work team of people over 50, both

professionals and researchers. Other

successful projects in the area of active

aging like Caring TV will be also

presented and discussed.

We arrange a workshop as a civic

laboratory, where users can find innovati-

ve tools to conceive, design and develop

their own projects, locally sharing with

Summer School participants, internatio-

nal backgrounds, innovation cases,

stories and experiencies.

DW2. Smart Regions, Smart Cities, Smart HomesJesse Marsh/Marta Continente

Local and regional administrations are

incresingly interested in using techno-

logies like Internet of Things in order to

manage more efficiently the public

infrastructures providing better

services to the citizens. ICT local

infrastructures are helping to design

smart energy networks, smart

buildings, smart transport, ... What is

the role that Living Labs can have in

helping to design these smart cities

and regions? Smart Cities are possible

without smart citizens? How about

Smart Homes where citizens can

manage their own personal home and

transport infrastructures?

DW3. Learning to innovate, innovate in learningRicardo Torres, Minna Katariina

Reforming the educational systems

with innovative methodologies is a

permanent goals of our governments.

This workshop is dedicated to the

exploration of some of the methodolo-

gies that are helping leaders of living

labs to work with secondary school

teachers, professionals, university

managers and tecnicians, in order to

help them to innovate in the

classroom, to transform the classrom

and the school in a living lab.

DW4. Living Labs, Tourism and HospitalityNahida Habbash, Miia-Maija Vakkuri

Living Labs are helping to introduce

innovation culture in traditional

service sectors like tourism and

hospitality. Projects like BarLaurea

show the possibility to change gradua-

lly the food culture with the collabora-

tion of the users. Other experiences like

Colònia Guell are opening innovation

with users to traditional cultural

heritage places. Finally, we are wonde-

ring if a new tourism of knowledge is

possible considering Living Labs as

new touristic destinations.

DW5. Rural and Social Inclusion ATOS Origin

Through the analisis of different European

projects on rural inclusion (CISVI, C@R,

COCKPIT, ...), the workshop will focus on

reduction of administrative burdens

between Public Administrations and SMEs in

rural areas (http://www.rural-inclusion.eu/)

and in different countries: Martinica, France,

Latvia, Spain, Greece. A round-table

discussion will focus on the lessons learnt

from the new sustanability strategies.

DW5. Rural and Social Inclusion ATOS Origin

European projects on rural inclusion

(CISVI, C@R, COCKPIT, ...), the workshop

will focus on reduction of administrati-

ve burdens between Public Administra-

tions and SMEs in rural areas

(http://www.rural-inclusion.eu/) and in

DW6. Energy E�ciency and Living LabsAlvaro de Oliveira

Living Labs are actively participating in

the European PPP initiative on Energy

Efficiency. Through the analysis of

different projects, this workshop will

introduce the participants in this field.

Case Study Workshop (csw)CSW1. Learning Scratch & Ardui-no: Computational Thinking and Living LabsJordi Delgado

The message that the citizen may be

able to innovate in this new knowledge

society is being widely disseminated

from all Living Labs across Europe. But

not the citizen as such, we need a citizen

that is able to deal comfortably with new

technologies, since these are the tools

that make the citizen capable of such

innovative new practices. In this sense,

Computational Thinking (CT, aka

procedural epistemology, aka algorith-

mic thinking) is a new mindset required

for a full understanding of how this

innovation may take place through the

use of computers. Thus, people working

in Living Labs should know, teach and

disseminate this new way of thinking.

One way to reasoning computationally

is learning to program computers (not

the only way, though). This workshop will

show some tools designed and/or

modified here at Citilab in order to get

people (particularly children) an easy

start in this fascinating computational

world. We do not want to crowd the

world with computer programmers, we

want people doing whatever they like to

do taking into account this new compu-

tational way of seeing the world.

CSW2. Laborlab: Invent new skills and new jobs through LLs Jordi Colobrans

Laborlab is an ongoing project in

Citilab that encourages innovation in

job creation and self-employment

strategies. Laborlab does not help

people to find work. Instead, it helps

them to develop drives, ideas and

initiatives to create their own work,

facilitates the creation of groups of

workers-entrepreneurs, and provides

tools and coaching for such groups

addressed to innovation projects. In

this workshop we will share our model

and experiences.

CSW3. Beyond Facebook: Social networks and Living LabsLuis A. Fernández Hermana/Isabel Troytiño

How current social networks and Living

Labs interact with each other? Do the

Living Labs need a new kind of social

networks? How to build them? The

concept of social networks for innova-

tion will be presented. The workshop

will work with particular experiences of

training professionals in the new area

of innovative social networks.

CSW4. Funding for Living Labs before and after a European projectAnna Kivilenko/Jose Antonio Galaso

Model of business and succesful

experiences of Living Lab projects. In

this workshop we could share

knowledge about new strategies,

marketing and communication skills

and budget approach oriented to

create sustainable models for Living

Labs. New activities like service

design, innovative training, and

incubation of new businesses and

jobs will be presented.

CSW5. Rings of Innovation: How Living Labs can benefit from the Research InfrastructuresArtur Serra/Francisco Iglesias/Emili

Hernández/Gonçal Bonhomme

This workshop will explain a new

digital infrastructure called Rings of

Innovation in Catalonia opening the

Research Infrastructures to the world

of innovation. The i2cat Foundation,

in collaboration with Citilab is

pushing this new innovation

infrastructure called Anellas de

Innovation (Innovation Rings). The

Catalan Government, the City of

Barcelona and several companies are

also supporting the initiative.

Happenings & Visits (H,V)H1. How to do living labbing for kidsLaia Sanchez/Jordi Delgado/Jose Yeste

Experiencing how to involve teachers,

trainers, and students from different

schools and non-formal learning

organizations in producing their own

stories and prototyping ideas in

multimedia formats. In this activity we

will introduce InvenTV, an interactive

media literacy experience, and we will

mix it with Scratch, a platform for

learning computational thinking.

Summer School participants will create

short videos based on real or fictional

facts from their lifes or on the issues that

the new community of livinglabbers

care about.

We will mix voices, news, old photos,

home videos or videos recorded during

the course, drawings, texts, and other

powerful expressive resources that

motivate children and adults. At the end,

a video per participant will be published

online so that they will share and spread

their stories, creations and prototypes.

H2. Interactive Music SessionAlex Serra/Sergio Ramos/Sant Boi Altaveu

Festival

Based in the Musiclab project, this

happening will invite participants to join

an Open Music Community with

musicians, artists and citizens from the

city of Sant Boi. This living experience is

committed to innovation and musical

experimentation. Through the develop-

ment of creative tools as well as new

formats of cultural contents, this

community will be local and global at

the time.

Creativity and innovation can go hand

by hand. Participants in this event will

experiment how artistic community and

technical people are blending in new

kind of innovative Living Labs, contribu-

ting to social and cultural inclusion. They

will be involved in a musical network

experience with local youngsters. They

will experiment the Cultural Ring innova-

tive infrastructure.

V1. Visiting 22@ and BCN FablabParticipants will come to dowtown

Barcelona where they will visit the IAAC,

Institut of Advanced Architecture of

Barcelona and BCN Fablab discovering a

different kind of Living Lab, followed by a

walk through the underground

technical infrastructures of the 22@, the

innovation district of the city where they

will see a current smart city project.

V2. Visiting the Colònia Güell: the community and Gaudi's laboratoryA new model of cultural tourism, the

tourism of knowledge, is under construc-

tion in collaboration with the communi-

ty of Colònia Güell. This is an UNESCO

cultural heritage site and at the same

time a lively community of 800

inhabitants in the municipality of Santa

Coloma de Cervelló. How to make

compatible cultural tourism, community

development and knowledge society is

the goal of such experiment.
