Although Living Labs have emerged as resilient research and innovation infrastructures and have proved to be a “key” to the integration of research and innovation processes in real-life settings, they still fail to provide and function according to unified and harmonized processes that are easily accessible and exploitable by academic and industry researchers. Towards this end, VITALISE aims to create the first Harmonization guidelines for Living Labs that will facilitate the access of researchers to the provided infrastructures. This document presents the work performed for the Harmonization of the way Living Labs work for the second semester of VITALISE. Taking as a starting point the Standard v0.1, VITALISE performed Harmonization activities with consortium partners and external stakeholders in order to create the Standard v0.2 presented in this document. Standard v0.1 included the state of the art information about Living Labs in the VITALISE consortium and was the first deliverable that set up the structure of the VITALISE Standards. The performed activities for this deliverable included the production and dissemination of a wiki page that included the Standard v0.1 and gives the ability to readers to make comments and suggest adjustments. The Harmonization Board was established and met throughout this second semester. The Harmonization Board consists of experts from the consortium and beyond and is the main Board taking decisions about the Standard Versions. A meeting with the Harmonization Body took place as well, in which participants discussed mainly the Harmonization methodology, the Living Lab management system and the wiki page. The consortium worked also towards updating the parts of the Standard that describe the data and technologies used in living labs, using a Delphi study method and collected the first set of terms for the living lab lexicon. The final Section of this document presents the Standard v0.2 that will be also published in the living lab harmonization wiki page. |
