Deliverable 3.1 "Criteria for linking existing Living Labs to the Case Studies" was developed within Task 3.4 –“Living Lab engagement”, led by NTNU, from Work Package 3 (WP3) “Involve and engage stakeholders”. Purpose This deliverable defines the first criteria for linking existing Living Labs to the ULTIMATE case studies. The outcome will be used to provide recommendations for WP3 to form new Living Labs based on the case studies resulting in a new type of Water Smart Industrial Symbiosis Living Labs (WSIS-LL) including an open innovation environment best suited for symbiosis with industry. The outcome will be used to, to the extent possible, co-locate our engagement spaces in Task 3.3 with the WSIS-LLS to increase outreach and impact. The report provides a review of the characteristics of a generic Living Labs from the literature as well as Water Europe`s criteria for Water-oriented Living Labs from their Atlas and a discussion on Water-oriented Living Labs challenges. Method We will identify existing Living Labs (LL) in the regions of the ULTIMATE cases by using the existing Water Europe LL inventory and provide the criteria derived from our WSIS-LL typology to work with them towards upgrading their status to WSIS-LLS. Conclusion This report has developed a preliminary list of criteria for linking CSs to LLs to transition towards WSIS-LLs and proposes a tailored approach through continuous evaluation to integrate the user-centric process design of Living Labs towards a WSIS-LL. In the design of the criterion, we considered Living Lab`s learning and collaborative processes and their outcomes, which requires openness of the environment: real-life structure, ICT infrastructure, and willingness of the participating actors to experiment, try new forms of play, take risk, and allow openness in collaboration, co-creation and learning- along with exploitation of existing resources, skills and competences. We also considered the issues of scaling up of the Water-Oriented Living Lab’s, particularly through the need for an enabling structure and environment that motivates stakeholders from various sectors and industries to commit and engage in the Water-Oriented Living Labs. Finally, we defined the following set of linking criteria between the Living Labs and Case Studies: Community building and proper functioning User driven, open innovation methodology implementation Planning and collaboration outcomes Capacity building and transferability potential Iterative design of processes and organizational strategies Sustainability and social impact |
