Definition & Implementation

Living Labs are open innovation environments in real-life settings in which user-driven innovation is fully integrated within the co-creation process of new services products, and societal infrastructure.

The Living Lab set up in CrossCult incorporates the following technological innovation:

• Research organisations support the project
• The project targets the development of new technological solutions (the CrossCult Platform)
• Stakeholders will develop an d evaluate the new solution
• Actors will collaboratively exchange and co-create the final solution

• An innovation design based on the usage of the technology
• An involvement of stakeholders from the early phase of the design
• A co-creation of the product, service or application
• A real world experimentation of the product, service or application

The CrossCult Living Lab (LL) developed based on the four identified flagship pilots, is set-up in a 4 step process:

 Step 1 - Connect

• Identify relevant stakeholders to be involved in the LL and their context
• Understand the contexts of action in order to build on existing initiatives and relationships
• Create a first link to the project

 Step 2 - Plan and Engage

• Create a shared vision of the object among stakeholders
• Support the endorsement of the role of local leader

 Step 3 - Support and Govern

• Concretely engage local stakeholders in the design of a business model reinforcing the sustainability of the project outcomes
• Design a business model to make the initiatives sustainable

 Step 4 - Manage and Track

• Set up functioning rules
