What is (the value of) a Living Lab?

• Living Lab is a real-life test and experimentation environment where users and producers co-create innovations

• Public-Private-People Partnership (PPPP) for creation, prototyping, validating and testing new technologies, services, products etc in real-life contexts

• Empower citizens (end-users) as active co-creators of value, ideas & innovations that can benefit the whole society

• Moreover, Policy-makers & citizens can use Living Labs to design & refine new policies in real-life scenarios

Where does it come from and how did it evolve into ENoLL?

• Originated for MIT (US), further developed in Europe

• Supported by EC as bridging the gap between R&D and market entrance (faster take up of R&D results) and enable SMEs obstacles on local and regional markets in the fragmented European market place

• Linked with EC policies and initiatives EU2020, Digital Agenda, especially through Smart Cities, EIP AHA, Future Internet, Design …

• Several Living Lab initiatives supported by the EC as well as national programmes

EIP AHA ENoLL Commitment

 

  •  ENoLL  published  a  commitment  to  EIP  AHA  Ac=on  Group  C2:  Interoperable  independent  Living  Solu=ons    

•  Ac=ve  in  the  Interoperability  sub-­‐group  in  the  area  of  applica=on  interoperability  and  suppor=ng  the  socio-­‐economic  evidence  and  implementa=on  subgroups  (mainly  in  the  WPs  related  to  User  Empowerment  and  involvement)  

•  ENoLL  Commitment  is  built  on  following:  •  Coordina=on  of  a  pan-­‐European  community  of  Living  Labs  in  the  domain  of  Health  

and  AAL  that  will  contribute  to  the  availability  of  interoperable  independent  living  solu=ons  with  special  focus  on  applica;on,  organiza;onal  and  service  interoperability,  and  that  will  support  cross-­‐border  development  and  tes;ng  of  solu;ons,  considering  contextual  factors,  business  models  and  strong  involvement  of  user  communi=es  

•  Predecessor  of  this  commitment  is  the  APOLLON  project,  carried  out  by  many  ENoLL  members,  and  that  has  taken  an  important  role  in  networking  and  harmonising  Living  Lab  approaches  throughout  Europe  

•  Results  from  the  APOLLON  project  have  been  officially  transferred  to  ENoLL  for  open  exploita;on  towards  the  wider  community  of  Living  Labs,  including  the  Health  and  Independent  Living  Thema=c  Network  

•  ENoLL  is  also  involved  in  the  FI-­‐PPP  as  a  partner  in  the  CONCORD  project  suppor=ng  one  of  the  main  FI-­‐PPP  pillars:  the  user  driven  approach  20/09/21  

EIP AHA ENoLL Planned Activities

 

  •  Based  on  the  concept  of  community  and  consensus  building  and,  exchange  of  knowledge  and  experiences,  ENoLL  carries  out  projects  and  relies  on  its  members  while  collec=ng  and  bringing  together  knowledge  from  mul=ple  projects  and  ac=ons  carried  out  a  local,  regional  and  European  level  in  the  AHA  domain.  As  part  of  its  networking  ac=vi=es,  ENoLL  plans  for  organising  AHA  workshops  and  networking  ac=vi=es  to:    •  Gather  input  from  many  projects  about  the  current  usage  of  standards,  

challenges  and  success  stories  in  the  implementa;on  of  interoperable  solu;ons  and  applica;ons  for  Independent  Living  

•  Promote  the  usage  in  current  and  future  projects  of  interoperable  AHA  solu;ons  aligned  with  EIP-­‐AHA  plan  and  ac=ons.    

•  Forster  partnerships  among  the  ENoLL  members  and  between  them  and  the  FI-­‐PPP  and  AALOA  community  as  a  plaYorm  to  design  and  implement  these  solu=ons  and  applica=ons  involving  many  SMEs  and  many  users  all  over  Europe  to  gather  evidence  about  return  of  investment
