OpenLivingLab Days 2019: Call for Papers
The call for submissions to the 10th Open Living Lab Days in
Thessaloniki is now open. The deadline for submissions is April
26th, 2019 6pm CET.
What is OpenLivingLab Days?
OpenLivingLab Days (OLLD) is the annual gathering of the global Living
Lab community. A space for public officials, companies, entrepreneurs,
academics, living lab representatives, and innovators to connect and
work together: to create new products and services, to set the basis for
debate and exploration of theories, and to discuss and process policy
recommendations within the practical elements of open and user-driven
innovation. Through interactive panel discussions, hands-on workshops
with leading experts and site visits to our local partners, OLLD offers
an exclusive networking and knowledge sharing experience. Join Living
Labs, companies, public officials, policy makers, researchers,
non-profits and entrepreneurs to:
✔Explore co-creation methodologies, tools and best practices
✔Meet new partners for consortium building and set-up transnational
experimentation grounds
✔Transform markets by engaging citizens in co-creating products and services
✔Find potential experimentation & test environments
Theme of the Research Session
Co-creating Innovation: Scaling up from local to global
During Open Living Lab Days 2019 we will focus on methodologies and
theoretical challenges of co-creating innovation with stakeholder
communities. The main interest is to understand how Living Labs can
contribute to generate and transfer innovation processes by integrating
Action Design Research from local communities to global contexts.
Why Co-creation?
*
Key component of User-driven Innovation
*
Turning into buzzword, fear of losing quality
*
Horizon Europe
Why “from local to global”?
*
Up-scaling and transferring innovation
*
Connecting innovation pockets
*
SME Internationalisation: how does innovation jump between borders?
How could the Living Lab community contribute?
A Living Lab is an innovation intermediary, which orchestrates an
ecosystem of actors in a specific region. Its goal is to co-design
product and services, on an iterative way, with key stakeholders in a
public private people partnership and in a real-life setting. One of the
outcomes of this co-design process is the co-creation of social value
(benefit). To achieve its objectives, the Living Lab mobilises existing
innovation tools and methods or develop new ones. (Mastelic, J., (2019),
Stakeholders’ engagement in the co-design of energy conservation
interventions: The case of the Energy Living Lab, Doctoral Thesis,
University of Lausanne).
LLs are both practice-driven organisations that facilitate and foster
open, collaborative innovation, as well as real-life environments or
arenas where both open innovation and user innovation processes can be
studied and subject to experiments and where new solutions are
developed. LLs operate as intermediaries among citizens, users,
stakeholders, research organisations, companied, cities and regions for
joint value co-creation, rapid prototyping or validation to scale up
innovation and businesses. LLs have common elements but multiple
different implementations. Let’s discuss together how to better
co-create innovation!
Are you a researcher or a practitioner and want to share your
experience?
The European Network of Living Labs invites you to send a contribution
to work on the theme of Co-creating Innovation: Scaling up from Local to
Global. If you have a great case study, a piece of research or on-going
project you want to share with the Living Lab community, then we
encourage you to submit a paper to the conference. As a practitioner, a
researcher, a student, a member of a public authority, you can share
your experience with the largest community of Living Labs, so do not
hesitate to take part.
You can submit papers in four different categories to encourage a
diverse participation of actors:
*
Full Research Papers.
*
Research-in-Progress Papers.
*
Doctoral Consortium Papers.
*
Innovation cases/project from industry/practitioner/innovation
agents, see more details below
OpenLivingLab Days 2019 brings together both academics and managers from
fields of innovation and fields applying Living Labs and Living
Laboratories to explore the benefits Living Labs provide for a variety
of stakeholders. The 10th edition of the Living Lab Research Day at the
Open Living Lab Days conference is an opportunity for researchers and
practitioners to:
*
Bring together a state-of-the-art review of Living Lab concepts and
their usage
*
Strengthen Living Labs as an area of innovation
*
Assess new trends, current challenges and developments of Living Labs
*
Co-design new disruptive innovation models
*
Establish strong connections with other emerging disciplines
