These are exciting times in Living Lab and end-user engagement field, driven by continuous development of new Living Labs, new methodologies and new research concepts. Living Labs can be applied to many different fields and therefore the scope of the conference is wide and the program is jam packed.
Are you an early bird eager to start networking? Do you want to informally connect with the other participants? Maybe discover common interests and experiences? Or just meet your peers?
The third day of the conference focusing on Health & WellBeing and Challenges & collaborations for living labs will start with an inspirational talk by Dr. Louise Hopper (Assistant Professor in the School of Psychology at Dublin City University) and Pierre (Co-founder and professor of the Master’s in Design for Social Innovation at Saint Luc Arts College in Brussels).
Assistant Professor in Psychology
Dr Louise Hopper, Assistant Professor in Psychology at Dublin City University (DCU). Louise graduated with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) in 1993 and worked in various information technology roles in Ireland and in the US from 1988 to 2001. Since completing her Ph.D. in Psychology in TCD in 2013, Louise has worked as a Lecturer and post-doctoral researcher in DCU.

Inspired by the EC Mission Board for Cancer’s recommendation for the “establishment of Oncology-focused Living Labs to conquer cancer, through the acceleration of social innovation and the exploitation of new technologies”, this session aspires to open a round of discussions, the first one in the context of the DLLD21, among high-level policymakers, in-field cancer experts and Living Labbers to envisioning the future Oncology-focused Living Labs.
This topic debate aspires to open the discussion on Health & Wellbeing Living Labs, clinical research and the interlink between them. How far is living lab concept developed for health research, what challenges yet exist and what Living Labs can offer in clinical studies. Are the methodologies used in clinical research applied in Living Lab concept and how far are the two. These are few topics to be addressed.
Our Living Labs need business models that will enable their sustainability beyond a project’s lifecycle, optimal use of time and resources and maximum exploitation of research results from the local community. A key solution to this challenge is to work together towards a Harmonized proposal of services and procedures.
The workshop aims to introduce participants to structured engagement with anticipation based on a three-step world- and sensemaking approach developed by the anticipate network
Human Factors studies simulate real-life circumstances using a multi-method approach. During the workshop we will immerse you into the practical organization of this method.
Living Labs are becoming a global phenomenon. During this session we want to give you the opportunity to discover them global Living Labs and join the discussion on how different initiatives can work together to co-create global collaborations.
You can join one of the lounges on the event platform and connect with other participants.
This session will try to enlighten the position of the living labs as infrastructures through the lens of the European Commission and other active actors in the domain
The Living Lab Markers are a tool to qualify and evaluate collective innovation processes with a user-centered approach. It allows to implement a participatory and user-centered project and carry out a continuous evaluation of the specificities of the methodology throughout the project.
This session aims to recast regulatory challenges as an opportunity for living labs to co-create regulations and standards that govern innovation
A tool, designed to evaluate organisational/regional readiness to apply integrated digital care solutions will be presented.
In this session track chairs Seppo Leminen and Abdolrasoul Habibipour, will introduce the 6 submissions which were peer reviewed. Papers from two tracks will be presented:
Learn about practical definition and the scope of Learning Labs.
In this session track leaders will reflect on their insights of the day and share the next steps.
