Looking back

11 years of Open & Digital Living Lab Days

The first OpenLivingLab Days event (then known as the ENoLL Summer School) was held in Paris in 2010. Since then, every summer, ENoLL organises the annual summit of the worldwide Living Lab community. 

OpenLivingLab Days is the flagship event of ENoLL and is hosted by a different Living Lab each year. OLLD was hosted in Paris, Barcelona, Helsinki, Manchester, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Montreal, Krakow, Geneva and Thessaloniki. Because of the global pandemic the 2020 edition, known as the Digital Living Lab Days, was held digitally. The event will continue digitally until travel is possible.
