Living Labs Information Event

The European Commission is organising a Living Labs Information Event, to be held in Brussels on Wednesday, 14 January 2009, at 10:30-17:30 hrs. This event will provide opportunities to exchange Living Labs related information, potentially relevant in the context of the FP7 ICT 4th and 5th Calls for Proposals, and for the CIP ICT-PSP (ICT Policy Support Programme) 3rd Call, all foreseen for 2009.

Through partnerships between citizens, businesses and public authorities, the Living Labs model allows people and industries to test tomorrow's best innovations in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT).

The Living Labs model includes end-user participation from an early stage of the creative process of technology development. As a result, evaluating aspects such as social and economic implications of new technologies has become more accurate. So the needs of users are better listened to and fulfilled.

The Living Labs model benefits citizens, industry and research

  • Living Labs empower citizens, as end-users, to influence the development of innovative services & products that eventually could benefit the whole society.
  • Living Labs allow industry to develop, validate and integrate new ideas, to partner with other companies and to increase their chances of success during product and/or service launches.
  • Living Labs facilitate the integration of technological innovation in society and increase return on investments in ICT research.
