Training on Living Labs Methods & Tools

The Learning Lab Day is a one-day training offered to starter Living Labs and other Living Lab enthusiasts, giving them the opportunity to learn all about the key elements and operations of Living Labs. The Learning Lab Day takes place one day before the OpenLivingLab Days and will be open for subscription for both newcomers and experienced Living Labs with two different targeted programs.

We are also hosting virtual learning sessions. You can enrol in a Spring or Fall course. The online program consists of weekly scheduled sessions to attend as well as assignments in between the weekly sessions to apply the learnings in the various cases brought in by a diverse group of participants and experts. The collaborative platform allows for continuous feedback and interaction.

"From my first encounter with ENoLL I was met with a lively and welcoming community brimming with exciting ideas, wonderful energy, and a contagious drive to collaboratively change our world for the better. The 11th edition of the annual ENoLL event—2020 Digital Living Lab Days—is an absolute must for anyone interested in tackling wicked problems with the latest participatory practices and open social innovation tools. The production was seamless and offered high-value programming, packed with inspiring content, speakers, and hands-on co-creation sessions. It's much more than a conference. For me it's a unique knowledge sharing platform rich with opportunities to develop meaningful exchanges—that live-on beyond the boundaries of a three day event—and to connect with practitioners and thought leaders across disciplines and borders.Thank you for inviting me to contribute as a workshop facilitator. It was truly an honor to be a part of such a transformative experience. Look forward to next year!"

I was skeptical that DLLD could offer the same level of collegial atmosphere or spirited engagement as the face-to-face OLLD experience. I was pleasantly surprised. The quality and professionalism of ENoLL and the wide range of presenters and facilitators from around the world was just as evident during DLLD. I was fully engaged, inspired, and stimulated by three days of seamless online presentations and workshops during which the collaborative spirit of the ENoLL community was evident. Thanks for a great conference!

I loved the improving quality of Living Lab research, the increasing interest of related methodologies and tools, and the open-minded, co-creative mindset of the participants to the sessions that increased learning and sharing.
