  • Why Manchester? Obvious choice, as Machester is notable for its architecture, culture, music scene, media links, scientific and engineering output, social impact and sporting connections. Manchester was the site of one of the world’s first railway stations, and the place where scientists first split the atom and developed the first stored-program computer. The City is served by two universities, including the largest single-site university in the UK, and has one of the country’s largest urban economies. Last but not least, Manchester is also the third-most visited city in the UK by foreign visitors.

Bridging the gap between RDI results and their use from micro to the most macro level through Living Labs.

The III ENoLL Summer School took place in Espoo and Helsinki from August 21th to 23rd, 2012. On Monday the 20th August there was a pre- summer school day for participants who wanted to present their research papers on Living Labs.

The theme for the pre-summer school was “Bridging the gap between RDI results and their use from micro to the most macro level through Living Labs”.

 

See the presentations here.

The Summer School provided participants an opportunity to test and develop the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators introduced “The Innovator’s DNA”:

  • Associating – making connections across seemingly unrelated questions, problems, or ideas
  • Questioning – a passion for inquiry
  • Observing – carefully watch customers, technologies, firms, etc.
  • Networking – find and test ideas through a diverse network of individuals
  • Experimenting – try out new experiences and ideas

The event accommodated around 170 participants from Living Labs, enterprises, SMEs, municipalities and educational institutions around the World. The summer school therefore welcomed entrepreneurs, innovators, designers, consultants, researchers, local politicians, civil servants, professors and students to participate.

llss12-1The Summer School had a multilevel approach to Living Labs, exploring both the micro level product development as well as the needs for designing macro level societal innovations and transformation. The summer school participants identified together, compared and developed methodologies and implementation toolkits used in Living Labs. The summer school highlighted the development and future opportunities of the Living Lab movement in bringing together the regional actors with the users, citizen communities, researchers and companies. The Europe 2020 strategy and its flagships such as the Digital Agenda and Innovation partnership were also the focus of the 3rd summer school. Moreover, the summer school co-created methods and strategies on how the regions and the renewal of industries could benefit from the Living Labs approach and how the Living Labs, at the same time, can develop their business models and benefit from the EU funding instruments. For this purpose, practical Living Lab cases such as eHealth/eCare were elaborated during the Summer School.

In order to activate the use and commercialisation of Living Labs results and innovations, the Summer School invited participants to introduce their overlapping innovations to the companies and other Summer School participants. The participants were provided an opportunity to share and explore their experiences related to topics such as building a thematic Living Lab, building a territorial Living Lab, transforming a research organisation in to a Living Lab, building cross boarder Living Labs, or becoming a smart city.

llss-12-3During the three-day summer school, selected experts conducted different learning and innovation sessions. Presentations from previous Living Labs experiences and user driven cases were heard and opportunities for consortium building to address the EU funding instruments were organised. As a part of the Learning method in this summer school, excursions to the Living Labs related sites in the Helsinki metropolitan region were organised. In addition, the participants got familiar to the World Design Capital 2012 programme.

Laurea Living Labs Network was the host of this event with the support of its partners Aalto University and Forum Virium Helsinki. Laurea organised the III Summer School in collaboration with the European Network of Living Labs, Citilab Cornella, the AMI communities, ESoCe NET, Asian Smart Living Summer School.
