With the Finnish launch on November 20th, 2006 of a European Network of Living Labs, this IST Event 2006 European Network of Living Labs session is also very close to my research heart.
It is a first step towards a new European Innovation Infrastructure (EII), and I would like to participate in the session, and have it as an oppportunity to express what I think the Living Lab concept can offer to FP7 and beyond, and how the project IST Corelabs has contributed to these thoughts.
I’ve also noted some other related sessions such as
