What is a Living Lab?

A Living Lab is both a methodology for User Driven Innovation (UDI) and the organizations that primarily use it.

A Living Lab is about experimentation and co-creation with real users in real life environments, where users together with researchers, firms and public institutions look together for new solutions, new products, new services or new business models.
But also Living Labs are about societal involvement, about promoting innovation in a societal basis, involving academia, SMEs, public institutions and large companies in an Open Innovation process that because happens in real environments has an immediate impact. This is how Living Labs aim to contribute to a new Innovation System where users and citizens become active actors and not only passive receivers.

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is a bottom up grown organization coming from the European Living Labs, the E.U., national and regional governments, academia and leading companies + SMEs, providing networking and a global context to its members.
