VirtSOI Living Lab is planning to build a live ecosystem where research, training and innovation interfere and enhance each other in order to develop and deploy innovative products and virtual services at national and European level with an active end-user participation and international collaboration. The LL is an open organizational structure that consolidates the efforts of several stakeholders.
The Digital Spaces Living Lab (DS LL) (www.digitalspaces.info) in Sofia, Bulgaria, was founded in 2008 to support industrial and academic partners working in the field of new digital media technologies. The DS LL provides a creative environment for research and innovation, as well as new forms of direct user involvement in the innovation process. It aims to establish new links between business enterprises, media partners, academia and citizens to ensure the successful collaboration between all these parties.
