2. What is a SSRI?
SSRIs are Living Labs
that meet certain
conditions as spaces
for innovation:
Five pillars have to
be involved.

3. SSRIs
The involvement of the five pillars are
reflected in criteria from several categories
that must be met for being a SSRI.
Categories:
Organization – Resources – Involvement of
users – Added Value

4. Methodology
The methodology for the creation and evaluation
of SSRI was defined in the Spanish R&D project
CISVI (Research Communities for Health and
Independent Life)
During CISVI execution the first four SSRIs
have been created.

5. SSRI’s Conferences
So far, three Spanish conferences have been
organized.
Zaragoza 2008 – Málaga 2009 – Madrid 2010
