Are you seeking key lessons on how to sustain impact and foster innovation and co-creation in your Living Lab environment? Join us for the workshop “How To Lab! Making space for sustainable transitions,” – June 11, 2024.
This workshop for ENoLL members has been designed following the 5 principles for successful Living Labs:
- The availability of resources
- An attitude of co-creation and empowerment
- Transparency about the level of participation
- Experimentation
- Balance between technical and social innovations
This concept has been developed in the book ‘Innovating with labs 2.0 – Creating space for sustainability transitions” (2023). In this light, the workshop aims to lay the foundation for a co-designed training module for Living Labs practitioners and lecturers.
Indeed, through the workshop’s five interconnected and interrelated building blocks, participants will be part of a co-creating design experience, where they will discover how to implement the so-called “Mountain View”, a tool developed under the Future-Proof Labs research project. This tool is generated and applied to design an outline on multi-stakeholder commitment for the development of a Living Lab.
Interested participants will have the opportunity to become integral part of the further development of the training module.
Expected Outcomes:
- Mastery of the knowledge and the practical application of the 5 principles of successful Living Labs.
- Mastery of the logic, as well as the implementation, of the mapping tool “Mountain View” for working out a wicked/complex problem or assignment.
- Set-up of the co-creational result: an overview of the foundation of the training module, the framework behind it, the intended learning outcomes, and the stakeholder map.

Agenda:
The 90-minute workshop will take place on June 11, 2024 – 13:00-14:30 CEST:
- Introduction by ENOLL (3 minutes)
- Introduction by THUAS workshop hosts:
- Block I (5 minutes): Welcoming, group formation & introduction of the workshop hosts (+10 minutes) and of the 5 principles for successful labs.
- Block II (45 minutes): Each group is developing (part) of the training module using the tool Mountain View to get an overview of the multi-stakeholder commitment.
- Block III (15 minutes): Lab Talk # 1: Reflection on the Mountain View Tool and output of this cocreational process per group.
- Block IV & V (15 minutes): Lab Talk # 2 @ the campfire: What to do next and who would like to stay involved?
- Closing (2 minutes)
Organizers:
The Hague University of Applied Sciences, Rotterdam UAS, and InHolland UAS:
- Liliya Terzieva (Professor Designing Value Networks);
- Heleen Geerts (Researcher- Project Networker Entrepreneurship);
- Ju Laclau Massaglia (student International Communication Management THUAS);
- Sarah Schmitz (student International Communication Management THUAS);
- Anja Overdiek (Professor Cybersocial Design at Rotterdam UAS);
- Janneke Sluijs (lecturer & researcher Human Centered Design and Innovation);
- Janneke Vervloed (Strategic advisor research & education at Inholland UAS);
- Eveline Kapteijn (Researcher Living Labs)
These representatives are members or allied partners of the ‘Designing Value Networks’ research group. They contribute to the knowledge development as well as to the design and expertise generation of applied models that enable organizations and professionals to sustain impact and foster innovation in an ecosystem context. To reframe interactions in a collaborative format has become vital for designing futures that hold value. Therefore, the need to explore the essence of value networks through mapping out tools through nodes (members) and connectors (relationships).
