4 ENoLL Activity Report 2018
In the context of the Digital Transformation, The Manifesto provides an updated vision
and highlights a list of specific lines for actions in a scenario of profound economic and
societal transformations; a scenario in which innovation-led growth generated by SMEs
and societal changes occur hand in hand. The EU citizen is now empowered thanks to the
universal open access to knowledge, and new EU infrastructures are needed to facilitate an
efficient integration of citizens in the EU knowledge society. But beyond this, The Manifesto
represents a live, Open co-creation process, Open to all the Citizens, Open to the World, in
order to guarantee that no one is left behind in this profound transformative process.
Now, the implementation aspects, the development of the “how”, including the consolidation
of sustainability and business models for living labs, appears as one of the most relevant
challenges to tackle. We contributed to this with 23 projects collected in the report of the
Living Lab Project Award Competition, with the 35 submitted scientific contributions, which
explored the Network’s methodological multiplicity, and with 29 Open Workshops which
constitute one of the most valuable assets of our Community: its potential of development
through knowledge sharing. In this sense, the ENoLL Learning Lab Program was consolidated
as a reference point for capacity building in living lab methodologies and tools, and this
approach will be strengthened in the future in order to help the living lab Community
building stronger foundations.
5 ENoLL Activity Report 2018
ENoLL has consolidated its ecosystem at a global scale, as well. Beyond a market for products
and services, there is latent global market of values in which the citizen-centric approach,
the empowerment of everyone to innovate, is a key element. The Network has strengthened
its links in Asia with countries such as Korea, contributing not only to different joint events,
but establishing new partnership and welcoming new membership applications. The
same occurred for Africa and America. We also signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with Australian Living Labs Innovation Network, an achievement paving the way to the
development of exciting scenarios for collaboration during 2019.
Nowadays, we are facing a present of opportunities, also tensions and uncertainties, but
indeed exciting changes. Classical fields of action for living labs
such as Smart Cities and IoT, Health and Wellbeing,
Green Economy and Energy, are now being
complemented with promising emerging
initiatives in Rural Living Labs, City Living
Labs, Social and Policy Labs. The Living Lab
Community, with its strong action-oriented
nature, is placed in a privileged position to
tackle this exciting moment that we are
living and contribute to shape a
better future for all.

From a content point of view the proposed texts of Horizon Europe (the successor of the
world’s largest Research and Innovation support programme Horizon 2020), Digital Europe
(the newly proposed programme to support digital innovations), as well as Cohesion Policy
programmes do not fall short in including crucial terminology close to ENoLL’s heart : co-
creation, user engagement, open innovation, citizen science, innovation ecosystems, etc. In
2018 our network – the Office as well as the Chair, vice-Chair and Member representatives
– has actively participated in meetings and reached out to EU officials to deepen the
understanding and anchor the place of these approaches in EU policy and support
programmes. And we will continue to do so in 2019.
The unknown part in this, the budgets attached to these programmes, will only be discussed
after the crucial elections for the European Parliament in May 2019. Crucial indeed, as
different visions on the way how (and if ) the European Union must proceed have never
before been so clearly on the table.
Choose well, ENoLL colleagues and friends, and speak out loud to promote our unique way
of collaboration. In the meantime, we will keep on defending the network’s interest to the
maximum.
