ENoLL (European Network of Living Labs)

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is the international, non-profit, independent association of benchmarked Living Labs in Europe and worldwide grown through ‘Waves' of calls for membership applications. Living Labs are real-life test and experimentation environments, where users and producers co-create innovations, in a trusted, open ecosystem that enables business and societal innovation. Living Labs enable the co-creation of user-driven and human-centric research, development and innovation of technologies, product and services focused on wellbeing of people. A Living Lab employs four main activities: • Co-creation: co-design by users and producers; • Exploration: discovering emerging usages, behaviors and market opportunities; • Experimentation: implementing live scenarios within communities of users; • Evaluation: assessment of concepts, products and services according to socio-ergonomic, socio-cognitive and socio-economic criteria. ENoLL is a community of Living Labs with sustainable strategy for enhancing innovation on systemic basis. ENoLL supports the evolution and the wide uptake of the Living Lab paradigm throughout Europe and worldwide. ENoLL contributes to the creation of a dynamic, multi-layer and multidimensional European Innovation ecosystem, and facilitates the cooperation and the exploitation of synergies between their members and external stakeholders. ENoLL fosters open international collaboration to solve the big challenges of our times, thus contributing to global wellbeing, prosperity and stability. ENoLL also aims at the Future Internet, Living Labs and Smart and Creative Cities and Regions convergence. Want to learn more?
