1 ENOLL:INTRODUCTION

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is the international federation ofbenchmarked Living Labs in Europe and worldwide. Founded in November 2006 underthe auspices of the Finnish European Presidency, the network has grown in waves up tothis day. Up to this date, altogether four successful Waves have been launched, resulting in212 accepted Living Labs. The ENoLL international non-profit association, as the legalrepresentative entity of the network, is headquartered in Brussels, at the heart of Europe.

What is a Living Lab?

A Living Lab is a real-life test and experimentation environment where users andproducers co-create innovations. Living Labs have been characterised by the EuropeanCommission as Public-Private-People Partnerships (PPPP) for user-driven openinnovation.

A Living Lab employs four main activities:

Co-Creation: co-design by users and producers

Exploration: discovering emerging usages, behaviours 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 a sustainable strategy for enhancinginnovation on a systemic basis. The Association supports the evolution and the wideuptake of the Living Lab paradigms throughout Europe and beyond.

2 WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear friends,

2010 was once again a very busy year, both in terms of operations and in terms of steps forwardtaken in the establishment of ENoLL legal body.

The European Network of Living Labs today is the result of a series of ambitious objectives thathave been reached and even surpassed, motivating the community and its members and providing a

platform and dynamic network for living labs globally.For a number of years, since 2006, these objectives primarily concerned smaller group of memberscommitted to living labs and open user-driven innovation.

Now ENoLL has become a significant network in Europe; establishing a position also globally,first by Waves of Membership, of which the 5thWave was launched in Ghent in December 2010,and more recently by opening a dialogue with various different actors for example in China,Taiwan and Brazil. Along the way, ENoLL has also enlarged its scope of activities with thesupport of the newly established ENoLL Office in Brussels.

Today, our ambition is no less than to set the worldwide standard in open and user-driveninnovation. This does not mean we have decided to change our core values of bottom up processesand open community: it simply means we have decided to transform the way we operate in theinterest of offering and enhancing our growing number of members now 212 the support andservices they need.

With the significant growth of the network, the costs for administering the ENoLL Network havegrown as well. In order to satisfy new requirements, ENoLL General Assembly felt it wasnecessary to introduce a new network administration fee for the year 2011 that will provide a stableand predictable source of funds to enable ENoLL to meet its obligations as the networkadministrator and central hub, and to maintain the quality of the activities.

These fees will enable ENoLL to provide more robust management and quality improvementinitiatives. Funding for such activities and initiatives will grow in direct proportion to the overallgrowth of the network.

Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, friends and supporters fromcommunity, our interlocuteurs in the European institutions; our member organisations for theirinvolvement and support; and in particular my colleagues in the ENoLL Council, which I have hadthe honour to chair during the year 2010.

I also want to thank my colleagues in the Secretariat for their extraordinary commitment to ENoLL,their high professionalism and their drive within the Secretariat team.

It is by acting together, that we form this dynamic community. And we look forward to continuingthis path, together, in the year to come!

lvaro de Oliveira,

President of the European Network of Living Labs

3 WHAT DO ENOLLMEMBERS SAY?

I believe that the European Network of Living Labs will strengthen the EuropeanInnovation System enabling to achieve an effective and sustainable basis for the WellBeing of our Society. Adequate international Living Lab strategic partnerships willreinforce this endeavor.

lvaro de Oliveira, Alfamicro, ENoLL President

Initiated 2006, the European Network of Living Labs - ENoLL has grown into a globalnetwork of 212 living labs that instrument user-powered real-life innovation activities inmore than 32 countries (2010). This non-profit network is the first of its kind. It

brings together innovation professionals with large groups of citizens/users - acrossgeographical administrative organisational and cultural borders - in joint innovationactions to address people's every day needs and desires as well as major globalchallenges."

Mikael Brjeson, CEO, CDT Sweden

ENoLL is much more than a network of Living Lab actors. It is a platform to facilitatemutual knowledge, promote a common agenda, link up with partners and build trusted

partnerships. It also provides an excellent channel for dialogue and strategic informationfrom the EU initiatives and other relevant networks.

Pieter Ballon, Director, iLab.o/IBBT, Belgium

On the Living Lab Summer School 2010

Thanks again to you and the organizing committee for the first summer school of LL. Ireally appreciated the experience and it will help us get more local support with a clearermessage.

The summer school was indeed a great success, and I've already been able to apply theresults to practice.

9 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR 2010

9.1 WORKSHOP ON SMART CITIES CALL CIPICT-PSP

On the 26, January 2010, a workshop was organised by ENoLL, supported by CO-LLABS,EUROCITIES and APOLLON. The workshop was divided in networking, starting in themorning and Co-creating in the afternoon.

The networking sessions started with three presentation: the first one, presented by Mr.Roberto Santoro, focused on the opportunity of co-creating "smart" commons through theOpen System of Living Labs Community. Dave Carter showed then the role of SmartCities as Creative Cities emphasising challenges and opportunities and the need of a realcitizen engagement. In the last presentation Dr. Prof. Pieter Ballon offered an overview ofthe just started APOLLON project (Advanced Pilots of Living Labs Operating in

Networks) aimed at demonstrating the positive impacts of cross-border domain-specificLiving Lab networks.

Participants were given the opportunity to present and discuss their experience and ideaswith a view towards development of Call 4 Pilot B proposals. On basis of this session, fourthematic domains emerged as a basis for Pilot B proposals. A joint co-creating session wasorganized in four parallel working groups to elaborate the potential Pilot B proposals. Thegroups elaborated their proposals focusing on three aspects: ideas that make a city "smart",innovative services to be delivered by Smart Cities based on Future Internet technologiesand existing platforms made available by involved Cities and LLs.

All together five proposals to this call for proposals were directly facilitated by ENoLL.Finally three succeeded in bidding for this highly competitive CIP ICT Policy SupportProgramme Call, which received over 40 proposals. ENoLL is partner in three of thesuccessful proposals, taking part in the dissemination activities.
