The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is proud to be featured in the McGill SPOTlight on Rehabilitation series. This edition focuses on Living Labs in healthcare research. Moreover, it brings together leading voices from both Canada and Europe. Join us on June 15, 2026, for a one-hour virtual conversation on innovation in rehabilitation science.
The McGill University School of Physical and Occupational Therapy Research Committee is hosting this free webinar. The session will explore how Living Labs can transform healthcare research. Additionally, speakers will discuss accessibility, inclusion and community-based co-creation. Presentations begin promptly at 12:00 PM EDT.
Key themes include:
Furthermore, panellists will draw on over 15 years of intersectoral Living Lab research. Much of this work has taken place in communities, museums and everyday lived spaces. It has been conducted in direct collaboration with ENoLL’s European network.

Evdokimos Konstantinidis, PhD Assistant Professor, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. He also serves as Vice-Chair of the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL).
Prof. Kehayia has collaborated with European Living Labs and ENoLL for over 15 years. As a result, her research has had a broad international reach. Her work addresses health, well-being and the inclusion of persons living with physical disabilities. She also studies psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. Specifically, she focuses on the Mental Lexicon in unilingual, bilingual and multilingual adults. This includes healthy aging and individuals with acquired neurological conditions.
Moreover, Prof. Kehayia recently published and co-edited the book Musée pour tous (Aude Porcedda, Éditions Hermann). The book explores accessibility and inclusion in museum environments across Europe and Canada. It reflects the cross-sector, cross-continental impact of the Living Lab approach.
The SPOTlight on Rehabilitation series highlights research from McGill’s School of Physical and Occupational Therapy. It reaches colleagues, students and stakeholders through multiple formats. These include webinars, podcasts, educational videos, feature articles and in-person events. Therefore, the initiative plays a key role in knowledge mobilisation across the rehabilitation sciences community.
This webinar is presented in English. Registration is free. One sign-up covers all webinars in the series. Please share this event with colleagues and networks interested in Living Labs and healthcare research.
