The European Network of Living Labs, ENoLL, is the network of open and citizen-centric innovation ecosystems, European born but with global outreach. It is a community of international Living Labs with a sustainable strategy for enhancing innovation on a systematic basis and the vision of “empowering everyone to innovate”. Over the past 10 years ENoLL has developed know-how and services on open innovation, value co-creation and validation in real-life scenarios and cross-border context. ENoLL has grown through annual ‘Waves’ (calls for membership) since November 2006. To date the 10 waves have resulted in around 420 historically recognised Living Labs and 150+ active members. On the 24th of May 2016, the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) announces the results of the 10th Wave and officially welcomes the new members in Amsterdam during the event Open Innovation 2.0 organised under the label of the Dutch EU Presidency. The 10th wave of membership was launched during Autumn 2015 and closed on March 15th 2016. The peer-led evaluation process results in 18 new accepted Living Labs from 13 countries. 12 new members come from Europe, 6 from other continents: Africa, North America, Asia and Australia. One new country joins the community: Nigeria. Celebrations will continue at our annual event OpenLivingLab Days 2016, held in Montreal (Canada) from the 23rd to the 26th of August. Our annual 4-day summit includes interactive sessions, workshops, networking, off-site visits with the aim of giving the participants a wider insight about models, theories and technologies related to Living Labs.
