The legal representative entity of the network is the ENoLL Office inBrussels (BE) close to the University campus of Vrije Universiteit Brussel,of two full time staff members. The ENoLL Office is hosted by the ENoLLSecretariat, the Institute of Interdisciplinary Broadband Technology (IBBT). 1.1WordfromthePresident

The Living Labmovement is emergingglo-bally as a tool for economic and social de-velopment at the local and regional scale,giving great opportunities for rural, urbanand regional development, both to largecompanies and to SMEs innovation, levera-ging their sustainable competitiveness, andfinally giving a new role for public authori-ties inpromotingand facilitating innovation. Thus, today the Living Labs are wi-dely recognized and accepted pil-lar of the European Innovation System. EuropeanLivingLabshaveevolvedoverthepast seven years based on and strongly in-terlinked with national and European Poli-cy and Innovation initiatives in the thema-tic areas as broad as addressing following:

•EnergyEfficiency.SustainableEnergy.Climatechange•WellBeingandHealth•SmartCities.FutureInternet.Internetofthings.•SocialInnovation.SocialInclusion•e-Government.e-Participation•CreativeMedia.Userdrivencontents.SocialNetworks.Web2.0•ThematicTourism.CultureServices•TerritorialandruraldevelopmentofSmartRegions•SustainableMobility•Industrialandlogisticsdevelopment.•Security

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 marketfragmentationandobstacles,makingtheinnovationprocessmoreefficientbybridgingthegapbetweenRDIandmarketentranceandsupportingbetterandfastertake-upofRDIresults.Thesemethodologiesarerapidlybecomingthenewmainstreammethodofinnovatingas they enable small andmedium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create leadmarkets byovercomingexistingbarriersinlocalandregionalmarketsinEurope.TheLivingLabsmodelincludescitizenparticipationfromtheveryoutsetofthecreativeprocessof technologydevelopment.Asaresult,evaluatingaspectssuchassocialandeconomicimplicationsofnewtechnologieshasbecomemoreaccurate.Sotheneedsofusersarebetterlistenedtoandfulfilled.WithLivingLabsthedevelopmentoftechnologiesandcreationofinnovationsstepsoutfromclosedlaboratories,intoeverydaylife.A first turning point came with the Helsinki Manifesto launched by the Finnish EUPresidencyinDecember2006as“animportantsteptowardsanewEuropeaninnovationinfrastructure”,which established the EuropeanNetwork of Living Labs (ENoLL).Withthe solid support of the initial structure of 19 Living Labs, Living Labs have togetherformedanumbrellaorganizationcalledtheEuropeanNetworkofLivingLabs,non-profitassociationwiththeoverallaimtoexploitsynergiesbetweenthenetworkmembers interms of networking, sharing good practices, provision of services and tools and theabilitytoaccessdifferentusercommunities.ENoLLsecretariatcoordinatesalmost300LivingLabmembersinEuropeandworld-wide.Thecommunityhasgrownthrough5yearly“waves”ofmembershipto274LivingLabsofwhich36areoutsideofEurope,coveringsixContinents.NationalLivingLabnetworkshavebeenestablished in severalMemberStatesand regionalnetworks inChina,LatinAmerica,andAfrica.EachLivingLabbringsdifferentgroupsandsectorialassociationsintoitspartnership,involvingoftenhundredsofSMEsinitsactivitiesandleadingtotheestimated25,000organisationsaffectedbyENoLLactivitiesoverall.FollowingastrategyofglobalizationoftheLivingLabsmovement,ENoLLhasconcludedseveral strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with organizations such asthe Beijing City Administration Information System and Equipment Center (CAISEC),UbiquitousNetworkIndustryandTechnologyDevelopmentForum(UNITED,theChineseFutureInternetandIoTinitiative),theFoodandAgriculturalOrganizationofUnitedNations(FAO),LLiSA (LivingLabs inSouthernAfrica) ,AsianSmartLivingSummerSchool andmorerecentlywiththeWorldBank.ThroughtheseMoUs,ENoLLisbuildingaportfolioofactivities,initiatives,exchanges,andpilotexperimentsthroughouttheworld,buildinginternationalnetworksandofferingexceptionalopportunitiestoEuropeanSMEsandthebroaderEURDIcommunity.Todayourambition isno lessthantosetworldwidestandard inopenanduser-driveninnovation,whilestayingtruetoourcorevaluesofbottom-upprocessesandembracingtheopennessofourcommunity.

2.2TheSmartMetropolitanAreasRealisedThroughInnovation&People(SMARTiP)

TheideaoftheSMARTiPprojectistotaketheexperiencedevelopedbyawiderangeofexisting user-driven, open innovation initiatives in Europe, particularly thosedevelopedthrough Living Labs, and to apply this experience to the challenge of transformingpublic services by empowering ‘smart citizens’ who are able to use and co-produceinnovative Internet-enabled services within emerging ‘smart’ cities. The aim is toenabletoadoptionofopenplatformsfortheco-productionofcitizen-centricInternet-enabled services in five test-bed sites,Manchester,Gent,Cologne,Bologna andOulu.Theobjective is toenhance the abilityof thecities togrowand sustain a ‘smart city’ecosystemwhichcansupportnewopportunitiesemergingforadynamicco-productionprocessresultinginmoreinclusive,higherqualityandefficientpublicserviceswhichcanthen bemade replicable and scalable for cross-border deployment on a larger scale.

The aim of ENoLL within this initiative is to share best practice and to establish acontinuous and sustainable development of a peer-to-peer learning system thatworks both ways. ENoLL wants tomake use of its large network to create a strongrelationshipandtodrive innovationontheAfricancontinentbysupporting theAfricanLivingLabs inestablishingstrongnetworks,fortheAfricancontinent.By implementingthese strong networks the ENoLLmember organisations (Living Labs) and emergingLiving Labs can be supported and are enabled to work in the most effective way.
