Living Lab or Experience and Application Research (EAR) is a new research paradigm integrating:
- a user centred multidisciplinary Research
- a user community driven innovation based on real life experiments.
It is intended to:
- increase the understanding of occurring phenomena
- explore new ICT artefact
- enable re-usable experiments (i.e. dataset, protocol,..)
- speed-up concepts to market, promote viral adoption
- contribute to iniate potential lead markets
- contribute to bring science and innovation closer to the citizen
Living Lab is more than experimental facility as its philosophy is to turn users, from being traditionally considered as a problem, into value creation
