Apulian ICT Living Labs – methodology

The Living Labs methodology has been applied in two consecutive steps

Phase 1: Identification of domain specific requirements

o Open Call For Ideas (Official Journal no. 46 of 29/03/2012) in order to collect and bring together themes, requirements, problems and challenges highlighted by the final users belonging to the extended partnership (see below) – thus forming a Requirements Catalogue.

o Opening-up of the Living Labs Partnership Catalogue, where local Associations, Public Bodies, Research Laboratories could register themselves as proposers of user led needs and requirements and at the same time, potential partners of ERDF funded projects aiming to provide solutions to those challenges.

Phase 2: Design of appropriate solutions

o Call for Proposal (Official Journal of Apulia Region no. 118 of 09/08/2012) in order to select and grant competitive project proposals aiming to test and validate new and innovative ICT solutions (services, applications, etc.) to face the challenges collected in phase 1.

o Each project proposal had to be submitted by one or more local ICT SMEs, joining up only partners previously registered in the Living Labs Partnership Catalogue and with the requirement of including at least one Association or Public Body and one Research Laboratory in the formal partnership.

o First final ranking list of 34 approved project proposals has been completed in July 2013

Some remarks

Innovation needs recognition should be a continuous process

Improve the assessment of originality and advance over state of the art during the evaluation phase (knowledge systems on research results, technologies, ect. )

Combine the usage of the Living Labs instrument with PCP Pilot Action to tackle, with the same technological innovation, societal application challenges (Lead Market Initiative)

An experiment still ongoing, but with great potential if it keeps promises
