[edit] Living Labs, User Driven Open Innovation and Future Internet

The aim of the event is to discuss the role of European Network of Living Labs and User Driven Open Innovation in the Future Internet initiative. In particular, ENoLL aims to contact its members and the Living Lab community at large in relation to the CIP ICT PSP call on Open innovation for Future Internet-enabled services in Smart Cities and for the Future Internet Public-Private-Partnership (FI PPP).

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) welcomes the Commission’s initiatives for the concrete implementation of Future Internet technologies in cities, regions and countries. ENoLL stresses that the Commission’s objective of “smart infrastructures” that bring economic and social benefits to all citizens is not likely to be reached through an exclusively technology-driven process. This is why living labs, that enable open and user-driven experiments and tests and Social Innovation, are the necessary complement to technical test-beds for Future Internet technologies.

Living labs are open platforms to engage user communities as contributors to innovations. They provide real-life user needs definition testing facilities offered by local Public-Private-Partnerships with People. ENoLL currently coordinates 129 benchmarked European living labs. Together, the ENoLL members support the "Innovation Lifecycle" for all actors in the system: end-users, SMEs, corporations, public sector and academia (http://www.openlivinglabs.eu).

During the event ENoLL, the European Commission and the Spanish Presidency will publicly announce the 4th wave of new Living Lab members.
