Living Labs & Cloud

• EPIC Cloud and the City

• The EPIC project solution combines cloud computing
with 'Future of the Internet' technologies to provide
cities with new tools and possibilities for the creation
and sharing of efficient, effective and economic
'smarter' city services.

Living Labs &
Smart Citizens

•  Focus of SmartIP is on the challenge of transforming public
services by empowering smart citizens’ who are able to use
and co-produce innovative Internet-enabled services within
emerging ‘smart’ cities.

•  Project aims to take the experience developed by a wide
range of existing user-driven, open innovation initiatives in
Europe, particularly those developed through Living Labs,
and to apply this experience to engaging citizens as active
co-producers of public services

Living Labs &
Open Data

• City Service Development Kit CitySDK project is being
developed to transfer Smart City applications from city
to city using an open source service developer toolkit to
help make it easier for developers to create new and
innovative applications.

Living Labs &
Internet of Things

• Smart Peripherial cities for sustainable lifestyles
• Periphèria applies creativity and Future Internet
Technologies to address the sustainability issues of your
city.

Living Labs &
Future Internet

•  The Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (FI-PPP)
Programme brings public and private actors together to
“advance Europe's competitiveness in Future Internet
technologies and systems and to support the emergence of
Future Internet-enhanced applications of public and social
relevance”.
•  Industry-led: the PPP is a short-term (i.e. 5 year) initiative
helping competitiveness and growth of industries in the internet
value chain (networks, services, applications)
•  European-focussed: helping to grow the vibrant European
Internet industry – into a European industrial stronghold; and,
•  User-driven: as services and applications become ever more
agile and changing, users play a key role in driving application
led initiative.

Living Labs &
BIG data

• FUSEPOOL will deliver an intelligent user adaptive
matching tool (partner matching, funding matching, patent
research, and other possible scenarios). Key asset:
information provided by the user (behavior / crowdsourcing
and uploads). User data credo: accuracy improves with
quantity and quality of user data while variety (breadth)
increases with number of users

• Open Calls to be published soon to Living Labs, SMEs
and developers – Stay tuned!

• …

Living Labs &
Materials & Design

• InnoMatNet aims to advance the goal of an innovation
society by developing a flexible approach that establishes
teams of innovators, linking materials researchers with
industry (particularly the creative industry) and other
innovation actors, providing support to help bring new
products and processes to market.

Living Labs &
Design for All

•  IDeALL project brings together communities, driven by
user-centred innovation, namely design centres
specialised in “Design for All together with Living Labs.
•  Lack of initiatives aimed to demonstrate the added value of the
integrations between designers and Living Labs,
•  Lack of operative processes for the collaboration/integration
between the two different communities;
•  Establishing policy action for permanently integrating design in
the new product / service for SMEs;
•  Specific action for the Enlarged European Union members
•  Education, Training and awareness raising initiatives.

Some
findings
from
FIREBALL

“How
European
ci.es
are
currently
developing
strategies
towards

becoming
smarter
ci.es
and
the
lessons
we
can
draw
for
the
future.
These

strategies
are
also
based
on
a
new
understanding
of
innova.on,
grounded

in
the
concept
of
Open
innova:on
ecosystems,
global
innova:on
chains
and

on
ci:zen’s
empowerment
for
shaping
innova:on
and
urban
development.

These
new
ways
of
innova:on
are
characterised
1)
high
level
of
ci:zen

involvement
in
co-‐crea:ng
internet-‐based
applica:ons
and
services
and
2)

emergence
of
new
forms
of
collabora.on
(e.g.
PPPs)”*

“Open
innova:on
and
ci:zen’s
engagement
aim
to
bridge
the
gap
between

the
R&D
of
ICT
and
actually
experimen.ng
and
using
Internet-‐based

applica.ons
in
ci.es.
These
applica:ons
and

are
intended
to
bring

societal

economic
benefits
in
areas
such
as

from

(2)

“Smart
ci:es
need
to
develop

paths
regarding

how
they
will
make
use
of
available

facili.es,
applica.ons
and
know-‐how,
and
how
they
will
develop
PPP
for

their
access,
use
and
exploita:on.
A
par:cular
point
of
aOen:on
is
how

those
assets
can
be
made
openly
accessible
for
both
users
and
developers

in
order
to
s:mulate
experimenta:on
and
innova:on
in
becoming
part
of

the
innova:on
ecosystem
of
ci:es.”

“Three
important
gaps
are
outlined,
which
ci:es
have
to
overcome
namely:

1.  Digital
skills
gap:
that
concerns
to
the
ability
of
ci:zens
and
companies

to
master
web-‐technologies
and
offer
solu:ons
over
the
net

2.  The
crea.vity
gap:
that
separates

3.  The
