12. Living Labs &
Smart Citizens
• Focus of SmartIP is on the challenge of transforming public
services by empowering smart citizens’ who are able to use
and co-produce innovative Internet-enabled services within
emerging ‘smart’ cities.
• Project aims to take the experience developed by a wide
range of existing user-driven, open innovation initiatives in
Europe, particularly those developed through Living Labs,
and to apply this experience to engaging citizens as active
co-producers of public services
13. Living Labs &
Open Data
• City Service Development Kit CitySDK project is being
developed to transfer Smart City applications from city
to city using an open source service developer toolkit to
help make it easier for developers to create new and
innovative applications.
14. Living Labs &
Internet of Things
• Smart Peripherial cities for sustainable lifestyles
• Periphèria applies creativity and Future Internet
Technologies to address the sustainability issues of your
city.

Programme brings public and private actors together to
“advance Europe's competitiveness in Future Internet
technologies and systems and to support the emergence of
Future Internet-enhanced applications of public and social
relevance”.
• Industry-led: the PPP is a short-term (i.e. 5 year) initiative
helping competitiveness and growth of industries in the internet
value chain (networks, services, applications)
• European-focussed: helping to grow the vibrant European
Internet industry – into a European industrial stronghold; and,
• User-driven: as services and applications become ever more
agile and changing, users play a key role in driving application
led initiative.
17. Living Labs &
BIG data
• FUSEPOOL will deliver an intelligent user adaptive
matching tool (partner matching, funding matching, patent
research, and other possible scenarios). Key asset:
information provided by the user (behavior / crowdsourcing
and uploads). User data credo: accuracy improves with
quantity and quality of user data while variety (breadth)
increases with number of users
• Open Calls to be published soon to Living Labs, SMEs
and developers – Stay tuned!
• …
18. Living Labs &
Materials & Design
• InnoMatNet aims to advance the goal of an innovation
society by developing a flexible approach that establishes
teams of innovators, linking materials researchers with
industry (particularly the creative industry) and other

products and processes to market.
19. Living Labs &
Design for All
• IDeALL project brings together communities, driven by
user-centred innovation, namely design centres
specialised in “Design for All together with Living Labs.
• Lack of initiatives aimed to demonstrate the added value of the
integrations between designers and Living Labs,
• Lack of operative processes for the collaboration/integration
between the two different communities;
• Establishing policy action for permanently integrating design in
the new product / service for SMEs;
• Specific action for the Enlarged European Union members
• Education, Training and awareness raising initiatives.
