To effectively target the Lisbon agenda, new holistic innovative and powerful innovation approaches are needed. The approach suggested in this document, is to build systems Living Labs - which engage and empower large groups of citizens in open real-world experimentally driven innovation processes. The increasing number of people and organisations behind this approach are fully convinced that the proposed way to empower users in open cross-border collaboration will become a very strong element in a new European innovation system. The networked system - the European Network of Living Labs – established and growing in size and maturity, is dedicated to generate, in large scale, significantly more competitive, valuable and sustainable products, services, content and societal infrastructures, based on advanced information and communication technology, ICT. This document is targeted to become a shared definition, planning, coordination and marketing tool, to be used and jointly maintained by people and organisations engaged in building the networked system for sustainable European competitiveness – the European Network of Living Labs. All members of the Living Labs Open Innovation Community are welcomed to, submit changes and amendments in order to make and keep this document as comprehensive and up-to-date as possible (see “Authors supplement” at the end of document).
