Who we are
The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is a community of Living Labs with a sustainable strategy for enhancing innovation on a systematic basis. The overall objective is
to contribute to the creation of a dynamic European innovation system, but also globally.
ENoLL aims to support co-creative, human-centric and user-driven research,
development and innovation in order to better cater for peoples needs.

1 Introducing ENoLL................................................................................:
About..................................................................................................
The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is the international, independent association
of benchmarked Living Labs in Europe and worldwide founded in November 2006, with
274 accepted Living Lab members to this date and the 6th Wave Call for membership
applications published in October 2011.
The legal representative entity of the network is the ENoLL Office in
Brussels (BE) close to the University campus of Vrije Universiteit Brussel,
of two full time staff members. The ENoLL Office is hosted by the ENoLL
Secretariat, the Institute of Interdisciplinary Broadband Technology (IBBT).

The European Commission has supported the Living Labs growth from the outset,
recognizing that user-driven open innovation is an efficient way to deal with market
fragmentation and obstacles, making the innovation process more efficient by bridging
the gap between RDI and market entrance and supporting better and faster take-up of
RDI results.
These methodologies are rapidly becoming the new mainstream method of innovating
as they enable small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create lead markets by
overcoming existing barriers in local and regional markets in Europe.
The Living Labs model includes citizen participation from the very outset 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. With Living Labs the development of technologies
and creation of innovations steps out from closed laboratories, into everyday life.
A first turning point came with the Helsinki Manifesto launched by the Finnish EU
Presidency in December 2006 as an important step towards a new European innovation
infrastructure, which established the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). With
the solid support of the initial structure of 19 Living Labs, Living Labs have together
formed an umbrella organization called the European Network of Living Labs, non-profit
association with the overall aim to exploit synergies between the network members in
terms of networking, sharing good practices, provision of services and tools and the
ability to access different user communities. ENoLL secretariat coordinates almost 300
Living Lab members in Europe and world-wide.
The community has grown through 5 yearly waves of membership to 274 Living Labs
of which 36 are outside of Europe, covering six Continents. National Living Lab networks
have been established in several Member States and regional networks in China, Latin
America, and Africa. Each Living Lab brings different groups and sectorial associations
into its partnership, involving often hundreds of SMEs in its activities and leading to the
estimated 25,000 organisations affected by ENoLL activities overall.
Following a strategy of globalization of the Living Labs movement, ENoLL has concluded
several strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with organizations such as
the Beijing City Administration Information System and Equipment Center (CAISEC),
Ubiquitous Network Industry and Technology Development Forum (UNITED, the Chinese
Future Internet and IoT initiative), the Food and Agricultural Organization of United Nations
(FAO), LLiSA (Living Labs in Southern Africa) , Asian Smart Living Summer School and
more recently with the World Bank. Through these MoUs, ENoLL is building a portfolio
of activities, initiatives, exchanges, and pilot experiments throughout the world, building
international networks and offering exceptional opportunities to European SMEs and the
broader EU RDI community.
Today our ambition is no less than to set world wide standard in open and user-driven
innovation, while staying true to our core values of bottom-up processes and embracing
the openness of our community.

What do our
members say?
I feel the European Network
of Living Labs is
becoming a birthplace for sustainable cities.
The living labs are
proving to be the
ideal way to bring
citizens, government and businesses together for
co-innovation.

1. 4 ENoLL Office
The ENoLL Office ends the year 2011 with 2 full-time staff members: Anna Kivilehto and
Ana Garcia. The ENoLL Office, responsible of the overall ENoLL operations, is hosted by
IBBT, ENoLL Secretariat, at the VUB university campus close to EU institutions.
The ENoLL office main role is the implementation the strategy defined by the ENoLL
Council, and to run the daily network operations. Main functions and services run by the
Office are internal and external brokerage, information relay and community management, policy influencing, visibility and awareness raisin, engagement with other networks
and alliances, facilitation of partnerships, identification of new funding opportunities and
commitment in projects.
Natalie Weiss has done her internship at the ENoLL Office (Nov-Dec) especially assisting
in the drafting and the public consultation of the white paper document for the creation
of sustainable Living Lab networks in Africa, including assisting in the daily activities of
the office. Natalie will continue her Master thesis on Living Lab networks in Africa and is
supported by the ENoLL Office.

This will focus on a series of pilot projects, as outlined Technical Pilots, covering three
thematic areas:
Smart engagement
Smart environments
Smart mobility
The pilots aim to act as a catalyst to stimulate citizen engagement in becoming active
generators of content and applications development, as well as being more informed
and involved users of the developing Internet-enabled services in smart cities. Smart
cities require smart citizens if they are to be truly inclusive, innovative and sustainable.
The promise of the information society, to create new ways of empowering people to
play a fuller and more equal role in emerging governance systems through their access
to dynamic Internet-enabled services, is also proving to be its biggest challenge, as not
everyone is getting equal access to the skills and opportunities that are supposed to be there.

2.5 CONCORD
CONCORD Future Internet PPP programme Facilitation and Support action advances
the European Future Internet research by supporting the European Commission in the
successful implementation of a coherent FI PPP programme. CONCORD will coordinate
and facilitate the alignment of FI PPP activities to ensure the relevance, rigor and robustness
of the co-created Future Internet concepts, visions and roadmaps. The methodology used
is an applied SECI model with a spiral development process. CONCORD advocates fair,
open and inclusive procedures for the supported parties to achieve commonly agreed
goals. Reflecting this, CONCORD creates an open and transparent decision-making
mechanism and collaborative environment where in a systematic manner, all projects
contribute to, and are accountable for, their contributions towards the success of the FI
PPP Programme as a whole.
One of the key roles of ENoLL (European Network of Living Labs) in the CONCORD
project is to facilitate interaction between FI PPP consortia and local and regional ICT
innovation ecosystems. Project website: www.fi-ppp.eu

The Living Lab approach for the development of innovative Information and
Communication technology (ICT) services is proving an effective way to bring true and
sustainable innovation to the broader dynamics of development at the local, national and
regional levels. The principle of collaboration and co-creation by a broad partnership of
all relevant stakeholders not only produces innovative technologies but equally promotes
the emergence of new forms of collaboration as well as the behavioral transformation
required to make the shift towards sustainable forms of human activity.
The linkage has become evident in European experiences over the last five years,
particularly in areas such as rural development, environmental monitoring and regional
innovation policies, and this is now spreading to Africa, Latin America and Asia. The ENoLL
Living Lab pre-conference workshop organized jointly together with IST Africa and LLiSA
in Gaborone (Botswana) in May 2011 aimed to bring together key stakeholders to facilitate
knowledge sharing in relation to what is involved in setting up Living Labs in Africa as well
as focusing on experiences and lessons learned.
During the first working session on the Living Lab experiences, best practices, Living
Lab methodologies and tools were presented by the panelists. ENoLL President, Alvaro
Oliveira shared more information on ENoLL International Cooperation and Brazil as an
example, Daan Velthausz (ENoLL Council member, Amsterdam Innnovation Motor, AIM,
Meraka Institute) on Energy Efficiency example in the City of Amsterdam and examples of
Living Lab projects from Trento by Aaron Ciaghi (Fondazione Bruno Kessler). In addition,
lessons learned and recent activities from the Southern African Network of Living Labs
(LLiSA) were given by Prof. Marlien Herselman (Meraka Insitute).

Africa
Later on, ENoLL was appointed by the as one of the African Network of Living Labs
(ANoLL) Task Force members, to coordinate action to support the creation of a sustainable
Living Lab Networks in Africa. The initiative lead by the African Union Commission and the
European Commission and including members such as the Living Labs in South Africa
(LLiSA) Network and the World Bank, the IST-Africa and more representatives for the five
African regions. A scoping paper was created by IST-Africa to inform about the current
African situation and to deliver case studies of African Living Labs already in practice. On the
basis of this, ENoLL is involved in creating White Paper gathering all the knowledge among
its members including other relevant stakeholders, to bring together recommendations
for a road map.
The aim of ENoLL within this initiative is to share best practice and to establish a
continuous and sustainable development of a peer-to-peer learning system that
works both ways. ENoLL wants to make use of its large network to create a strong
relationship and to drive innovation on the African continent by supporting the African
Living Labs in establishing strong networks, for the African continent. By implementing
these strong networks the ENoLL member organisations (Living Labs) and emerging
Living Labs can be supported and are enabled to work in the most effective way.
China
The ENoLL President has successfully achieved the initiation of a mesh network between
ENoLL, European governments and companies, CNoLL (coordinated by United Forum, a
large organization focused on the Ubiquitous Computing, Future Internet and Internet of
Things), Chinese government and companies. Main interests of this initiative are Smart
Cities, Energy and AAL.

Poznan
The official parallel session held in Poznan (PL) at the Future Internet Conference on
October 24th 2011, was dedicated to User Driven Innovation and was organized by ENoLL
and closed with the announcement of the European Network of Living Labs 6th Wave for
Membership applications, open until February 29th, 2012.
The network of currently 274 members is still growing and all public and private
organisations, interested in applying for the accreditation and interested in exploiting
synergies between Living Labs all around the world, in terms of networking, sharing
good practices, provision of services and tools and the ability to access different user
communities, are invited to apply.

ERRIN
ENoLL further deepened its cooperation with the ERRIN network (European Regions
Research and Innovation network) and especially their ICT working group through working
closely together within the FI PPP project in organizing several related events.
Anna Kivilehto (ENoLL Office) participated ERRIN ICT working group meeting and
presented ENoLL.
EUROCITIES
The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) and EUROCITIES Joint Matchmaking
event was held on March, 2nd on Open Innovation for Internet-enabled Services in Smart
Cities, for the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) ICT Policy
Support Programme 5th Call for Proposals 2011, offering a unique platform to initiate
cross border co-operations and to find new project partners in regards to the upcoming
calls for proposals.
On the following day, 1 March 2011, the Information Society and Media Directorate-General
of the European Commission organized an ICT PSP constituency building workshop for
Call 5 Objective 5.1: "Open innovation for Internet-enabled services in 'smart cities in
Brussels.
ENoLL together with EUROCITIES continued to work closely within the CIP Smart Cities
portfolio.

APOLLON
APOLLON (Advanced Pilots of Living Labs Operating in Networks) is a CIP Pilot B project,
co-funded by the European Commission. The main objectives of the APOLLON project
are to conduct cross-border Living Lab pilots, aimed in particular at SMEs, to harmonise
methodologies and tools for cross-border Living Lab projects, and to create sustainable
cross-border domain-specific Living Lab networks.
ENoLL has established a closer and more strategic cooperation with Apollon and
ENoLL Thematic Domain that will be formalized in form of a cooperation agreement, a
Memorandum of Understanding has been proposed to the Apollon consortium.
