ENoLL 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.” The association supports the evolution and wide uptake of the Living Lab paradigm throughout Europe and beyond. The overall objective is to contribute to the creation of a dynamic European innovation ecosystem with a global reach. ENoLL aims to support co-‐creative, human-‐centric and user-‐driven research, development and innovation in order to better cater for people’s needs. ENoLL has grown through annual ‘Waves’ of calls for membership since November 2006. To date the 9 waves have resulted in almost 400 historically recognised Living Labs. The 9th wave of membership was launched on the 2nd of February 2015 and closed on May 21st 2015. During the 9th wave 37 applications were submitted from Living Labs in 22 different countries. The peer-‐led evaluation process, headed by Jesse Marsh and supported by 17 international experts from 9 different countries, resulted in 25 new accepted Living Labs joining the worldwide Open Living Labs community.
