4 ENoLL Activity Report 2018
In the context of the Digital Transformation, The Manifesto provides an updated vision and
highlights a list of specific lines for actions in a scenario of profound economic and societal
transformations; a scenario in which innovation-led growth generated by SMEs and societal
changes occur hand in hand. The EU citizen is now empowered thanks to the universal open
access to knowledge, and new EU infrastructures are needed to facilitate an efficient integration
of citizens in the EU knowledge society. But beyond this, The Manifesto represents a live, Open
co-creation process, Open to all the Citizens, Open to the World, in order to guarantee that no
one is left behind in this profound transformative process.
Now, the implementation aspects, the development of the “how”, including the consolidation
of sustainability and business models for living labs, appears as one of the most relevant
challenges to tackle. We contributed to this with 23 projects collected in the report of the Living
Lab Project Award Competition, with the 35 submitted scientific contributions, which explored
the Network’s methodological multiplicity, and with 29 Open Workshops which constitute one
of the most valuable assets of our Community: its potential of development through knowledge
sharing. In this sense, the ENoLL Learning Lab Program was consolidated as a reference point for
capacity building in living lab methodologies and tools, and this approach will be strengthened
in the future in order to help the living lab Community building stronger foundations.
5 ENoLL Activity Report 2018
ENoLL has consolidated its ecosystem at a global scale, as well. Beyond a market for products
and services, there is latent global market of values in which the citizen-centric approach, the
empowerment of everyone to innovate, is a key element. The Network has strengthened its
links in Asia with countries such as Korea, contributing not only to different joint events, but
establishing new partnership and welcoming new membership applications. The same occurred
for Africa and America. We also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Australian Living
Labs Innovation Network, an achievement paving the way to the development of exciting
scenarios for collaboration during 2019.

From a content point of view the proposed texts of Horizon Europe (the successor of the
world’s largest Research and Innovation support programme Horizon 2020), Digital Europe
(the newly proposed programme to support digital innovations), as well as Cohesion Policy
programmes do not fall short in including crucial terminology close to ENoLL’s heart : co-
creation, user engagement, open innovation, citizen science, innovation ecosystems, etc. In
2018 our network – the Office as well as the Chair, vice-Chair and Member representatives – has
actively participated in meetings and reached out to EU officials to deepen the understanding
and anchor the place of these approaches in EU policy and support programmes. And we will
continue to do so in 2019.
The unknown part in this, the budgets attached to these programmes, will only be discussed
after the crucial elections for the European Parliament in May 2019. Crucial indeed, as different
visions on the way how (and if ) the European Union must proceed have never before been so
clearly on the table.
Choose well, ENoLL colleagues and friends, and speak out loud to promote our unique way
of collaboration. In the meantime, we will keep on defending the network’s interest to the
maximum.
