  Living Labs aslocal platforms Living Labs have now been established at a local scale as environments for real-life testing and experimentation of new services, products and systems with communities of real users allowing early feedback and co-design by end-users following a collaborative, iterative and stochastic process focused on sustainable, social innovation: not just purchase decision, but behavioural patterns and changes are the central concern offering an open and neutral platform where all stakeholders (technology suppliers, service providers, business customers, institutions, policy makers and regulators, end-users) can interact and co-innovate

  Taking the nextstep Current Living Labs Living Labs in Europe form a new, vibrant and growing community Locally implanted initiatives Great variety in application domains, approaches etc. Current federation on European scale European Network of Living Labs is a federation of Living Labs conforming to a number of general benchmark criteria European projects addressing exchange of best practices and methodologies for individual labs APOLLON addresses the next frontier in Living Lab Research Leverage local implantation, overcome local limitations Do joint testing in cross-border living lab projects Offer opportunities for innovators (i.e. SMEs) to innovate and scale up internationally much faster

  APOLLON Methodology BasicScenario Methodology as a harmonization framework for cross-border Living Lab networks Includes strategies & concepts for cooperation, tools & methods for user involvement, best practices & lessons learned from earlier projects, as well as framework and templates for impact assessment Methodology builds on the following basic scenario: 1. SME Contacts a local Living Lab (LL1) or ENoLL Domain Network 2. Match is found from LL2 knowledge center (LLKC) 3. Project coordinator (PC) is assigned, project model agreed (LL2 or LL1 + LL2) 4. LL2 collects local stakeholders, PC takes over 5. PC leads the project using LLKC tools 6. LL2 assesses market potential for local business case 8. Lessons Learned added to LLKC 7. PC and SME assess benefits and plan next step

  Experiment 4: eParticipation- Social Media A pilot on the aggregation of Media Technologies using 3D, cross-media, community reporting and context aware mobile applications to include citizens in the urban innovation process. Test how eMedia technologies can be aggregated to enable citizens to take part in urban planning of the City of the Future & to explore its History First Pilot: The Digital Fort Project, Issy Les Moulineaux
• 18.
  Second Pilot: UnitedKingdom Manchester City Library Case The pilot will enhance the work of two existing projects being run by Manchester City Council – the refurbishment of Manchester Central Library, and Manchester City Galleries‟ Decoding Art project. The goal is to use context aware mobile applications, QR codes, Community Reporters and 3D Models to involve citizens in the urban development process and in sharing artistic content.
