DIGITAL LIVING LAB DAYS 2021 EVENT REPORT

“The Digital Living Lab Days Conference 2021 achieved its goal to bring together the Living Lab community with policymakers, in-field experts, researchers and innovators.

Together, we explored untapped ways and shared experiences on the empowerment of digital & open innovation for everyone to promote & enhance the effective addressing of society’s real-life challenges.”

The last 2 years have been challenging and have redefined the way we have been working and the challenges upon us. With so many complex problems facing society and the planet our mission is more and more important and we at ENoLL are willing to facilitate and expand the impact of living labs worldwide. A new strategy was presented during the conference, that will pave the way for a stronger and more connected network.

The Digital Living Lab Days is the occasion to evaluate the work of the past year and dive into the future with many inspiring keynotes, distinguished speakers from the European Commission, interesting workshops hosted by our community and our projects, and many many opportunities for networking, hopefully for the last time only virtually.

Martina De Sole Director of ENoLL
