Call for Workshops at OpenLivingLab Days 2023 

“Living Labs for an era of transitions:  How human-centric innovation is changing our lives”

At OLLD, workshops are dynamic and interactive. Led by expert instructors, our hands-on activities foster creativity and problem-solving skills. Plus, you’ll collaborate with other participants to create something unique. Join us at our next workshop for a fun and valuable learning experience! 

OpenLivingLab Days is hosted in Barcelona, September 21-23, 2023, featuring two full conference days with topic sessions and workshops, followed by site visits to local living labs on Saturday. 

Key characteristics. We are looking for workshops that are:

  • Interactive and practical rather than one-directional or theoretical  
  • Facilitating the active and equal engagement of all participants  
  • Support knowledge exchange – also between participants  
  • Provide real value for participants and equip them with solutions that they can apply in their living labs as well  
  • Produce tangible outcomes to ‘take home’ from the session  
  • Goal-oriented: presenting clear goals to be achieved during the session  
  • Dynamic and FUN
