Laurea Living Labs Network

LAUREA helps companies, public sector, academia, and citizens to co-create and pilot better innovations in various industrial domains. Living Lab provides professional know- how and education in Health and Wellbeing, Social Services, Correctional Services, Safety, Security and Risk Management, Business Management and Service Innovation, Circular Economy, Hospitality Management and Service Design, as well as Beauty and Cosmetics. LAUREA aims to make innovation more open, inclusive, and collaborative. Co-creation and experimentation do not happen without mediation. At LAUREA it is called ‘orchestration’. LAUREA motivates businesses, researchers, public sector players and citizens to come together and innovate. Product development at the customer interface drastically reduces costs and time for launching. Collaboration with academia and businesses turns state-of-art research effectively into products and services. For citizens and public sector players, co-creation and innovation bring about better and more suitable services at reduced costs. Openness and free flow of information and ideas make processes more efficient and benefit all stakeholders. Adherence to open science, open innovation and open learning is LAUREA’s competitive advantage. LAUREA’s fields of expertise in RDI activities are holistic health and well-being, coherent security, service innovations and business models, entrepreneurship, and pedagogy.
