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 initiatives such as EIPs on Smart Cities, Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA), Future Internet, Design …

EIP AHA European  Innova1on  Partnership  on  Ac1ve  and  Healthy  Ageing

ENoLL Commitment  

  •  ENoLL published a commitment to EIP AHA Action Group C2: Interoperable independent Living Solutions

•  Active in the Interoperability sub-group in the area of application interoperability and supporting the socio-economic evidence and implementation subgroups (mainly in the WPs related to User Empowerment and involvement)

•  ENoLL Commitment is built on following: •  Coordination 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 solutions with special focus on application, organizational and service interoperability, and that will support cross-border development and testing of solutions, considering contextual factors, business models and strong involvement of user communities

•  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 exploitation towards the wider community of Living Labs, including the Health and Independent Living Thematic Network

•  ENoLL is also involved in the FI-PPP as a partner in the CONCORD project supporting one of the main FI-PPP pillars: the user driven approach

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 collecting and bringing together knowledge from multiple projects and actions carried out a local, regional and European level in the AHA domain.

•  As part of its networking activities, ENoLL plans for organising AHA workshops and networking activities in order to:

•  Gather input from many projects about the current usage of

standards, challenges and success stories in the implementation of interoperable solutions and applications for Independent Living

•  Promote the usage in current and future projects of interoperable AHA solutions aligned with EIP-AHA plan and actions.

•  Forster partnerships among the ENoLL members and between them and the FI-PPP and AALOA community as a platform to design and implement these solutions and applications involving many SMEs and many users all over Europe to gather evidence about return of investment
