Living labs as a tool for regulatory learning

TIME

Wednesday, 8th September, 14:00 – 15:15 CEST

DESCRIPTION

AGENDA

This session aims to recast regulatory challenges as an opportunity for living labs to co-create regulations and standards that govern innovation. In testing new technologies and solutions, living labs frequently have to grapple with regulatory hurdles, ranging from data protection to public safety. In this session, we will explore how these regulatory implications can in fact strengthen the value proposition of living labs as a holistic innovation-support tool. Living labs can offer a context for experimenting with innovations and new rules in tandem, such as gathering evidence to inform and trial regulatory measures. The session will bring together perspectives of living lab practitioners and the European Commission to discover how living labs can generate regulatory insights, to learn about current practice, and to inspire the creation of living lab projects around regulatory aspects.
