What is a Living Lab

A Living Lab is a real-‐life test a n d e x p e r im e n t a 9 o n environment where users and producers co-‐create innova9ons.

Living Labs have been characterised by the European Commission as Public-‐Private-‐People Partnerships (PPPP) for co-‐crea9on, prototyping, valida9on and tes9ng of new technologies, services, products, etc, in real-‐life contexts.

Living Labs & Smart Citizens

• Focus of SmartIP is on the challenge of transforming public services by empowering smart citizens’ who are able to use and co-produce innovative Internet-enabled services within emerging ‘smart’ cities.

• Project aims to take the experience developed by a wide range of existing user-driven, open innovation initiatives in Europe, particularly those developed through Living Labs, and to apply this experience to engaging citizens as active co-producers of public services

Living Labs & Open Data

• City Service Development Kit CitySDK project is being developed to transfer Smart City applications from city to city using an open source service developer toolkit to help make it easier for developers to create new and innovative applications.

Living Labs & Internet of Things

• Smart Peripherial cities for sustainable lifestyles

• Periphèria applies creativity and Future Internet Technologies to address the sustainability issues of your city.

Living Labs & Future Internet

• The Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (FI-PPP) Programme brings public and private actors together to “advance Europe's competitiveness in Future Internet technologies and systems and to support the emergence of Future Internet-enhanced applications of public and social relevance”.

•  Industry-led: the PPP is a short-term (i.e. 5 year) initiative helping competitiveness and growth of industries in the internet value chain (networks, services, applications)

• European-focussed: helping to grow the vibrant European Internet industry – into a European industrial stronghold; and,

• User-driven: as services and applications become ever more agile and changing, users play a key role in driving application led initiative.

Future Internet PPP

Living Labs & BIG data

• FUSEPOOL will deliver an intelligent user adaptive matching tool (partner matching, funding matching, patent research, and other possible scenarios). Key asset: information provided by the user (behavior / crowdsourcing and uploads). User data credo: accuracy improves with quantity and quality of user data while variety (breadth) increases with number of users

• Open Calls to be published soon to Living Labs, SMEs and developers – Stay tuned!

• …

•  …

Living Labs & Materials & Design

•  InnoMatNet aims to advance the goal of an innovation society by developing a flexible approach that establishes teams of innovators, linking materials researchers with industry (particularly the creative industry) and other innovation actors, providing support to help bring new products and processes to market.

Living Labs & Design for All

•  IDeALL project brings together communities, driven by

user-centred innovation, namely design centres specialised in “Design for All together with Living Labs.

•  Lack of initiatives aimed to demonstrate the added value of the integrations between designers and Living Labs,

•  Lack of operative processes for the collaboration/integration between the two different communities;

•  Establishing policy action for permanently integrating design in the new product / service for SMEs;

•  Specific action for the Enlarged European Union members

•  Education, Training and awareness raising initiatives.

Inputs from FIREBALL Fireball project (www.fireball4smartci9es.eu) a CA of the FP7 for ICT (2010-‐2012). Bring together the FIRE/Future Internet community, Living Lab and urban development.

Some findings from FIREBALL “How European ci.es are currently developing strategies towards becoming smarter ci.es and the lessons we can draw for the future. These strategies are also based on a new understanding of innova.on, grounded in the concept of Open innova:on ecosystems, global innova:on chains and on ci:zen’s empowerment for shaping innova:on and urban development. These new ways of innova:on are characterised 1) high level of ci:zen involvement in co-‐crea:ng internet-‐based applica:ons and services and 2) emergence of new forms of collabora.on (e.g. PPPs)”* “Open innova:on and ci:zen’s engagement aim to bridge the gap between the R&D of ICT and actually experimen.ng and using Internet-‐based applica.ons in ci.es. These applica:ons and services are intended to bring societal and economic benefits in areas such as healthcare, independent living, enterprising and SMEs, par:cipa:ve government, energy efficiency, environment and quality of life.”* *All inputs come from the FIREBALL whitepaper: h^p://www.fireball4smartci9es.eu/

Some findings from FIREBALL (2) “Smart ci:es need to develop strategies and migra.on paths regarding how they will make use of available internet infrastructures, testbed facili.es, applica.ons and know-‐how, and how they will develop PPP for their access, use and exploita:on. A par:cular point of aOen:on is how those assets can be made openly accessible for both users and developers in order to s:mulate experimenta:on and innova:on in becoming part of the innova:on ecosystem of ci:es.” “Three important gaps are outlined, which ci:es have to overcome namely: 1.   Digital skills gap: that concerns to the ability of ci:zens and companies

to master web-‐technologies and offer solu:ons over the net 2.   The crea.vity gap: that separates web technologies and applica:ons 3.   The entrepreneurship gap: that takes place between digital applica:ons

and innova:ve services”

*All inputs come from the FIREBALL whitepaper: h^p://www.fireball4smartci9es.eu

Some findings from FIREBALL (3) “Recommenda:on in the paper: ci:es have to explore various business models and iden:fy the ones suitable for each type of service. Living Lab methodologies, social experiments, crowdsourcing, and open city plaTorms for crea:ng and promo:ng applica:ons and services may offer good solu:ons to this end and mobilize crea:ve skills of the en:re popula:on of the city.” “Ci.es provide many opportuni.es of aJrac.ve explora.on and valida.on environments. There is s:ll a gap between Future Internet research and ci:zens’ expecta:ons.” *All inputs come from the FIREBALL whitepaper: h^p://www.fireball4smartci9es.eu

Helsinki (2) “All the smart city ac:vi:es in Helsinki boil down to community engagement, enabling the dialogue between the city, ci:zens and companies“ -‐  CitySDK -‐  Helsinki Region Infoshare: www.hri.fi/en/

-‐  Aims to make regional informa9on quickly and easily accessible to all. The data may be used by ci9zens, businesses, universi9es, academies, research facili9es or municipal administra9on.

-‐  The data on offer is ready to be used freely at no cost. -‐  At the moment at www.hri.fi there are almost 900 data catalogues opened so far.

-‐  The project was started in 2009 ini9ated by Forum Virium, City of Helsinki Urban Facts and ci9es of Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo and Kauniainen. In 2014 the ownership and maintaining of the HRI will be transfered from Forum Virium and Urban Facts to the municipali9es themselves.

Helsinki (4) -‐  Apps4Finland: h^p://apps4finland.fi/en/

-‐  Apps4Finland contest is organized for the 3rd 9me this year, with ever increasing amount of compe9ng apps, visualiza9ons, ideas and data openings.

-‐  Also other organiza9ons in Helsinki have found the "virtues" of app contest, as Helsinki Region Transport Authority and Sanoma Publishing organiza9ons have also been arranging specific App contests.


Helsinki (5) -‐  Helsinki Region Transport Authority:

-‐  HRT opened its all interfaces on 2009 and today they have approximately 70 different applica9ons and widgets developed by its developer community members.

-‐  At the same 9me when opening the APIs HRT opened its own web-‐based Journey Planner which is currently one of the most popular web applica9ons in Finland.

-‐  All other service development it leu to the developer community, resul9ng in very heterogeneous variety of applica9ons serving with highly specified apps also the very narrow niche markets.

-‐  One good example app is the Mobitransit (real-‐9me tracking of trams and buses in Helsinki) applica9on which is developed by a developer from Valencia, who has never visited Helsinki, but was able to access the HRT API through web.
