ENoLL has the following types of memberships: Effective Member, Adherent Member, Accepted to Grow Member, and Innovation Partner.
All members go through the process of certification. All Living Labs that apply to the Association should demonstrate a sufficient level of maturity to become Adherent Members. If an organization does not fully meet all the requirements but has big potential to become a sustainable Living Lab in the future, it will be invited to join our Network as an Accepted to Grow Member. After a year, the Accepted to Grow Members can apply again to become Adherent Members.
Effective Members
The Effective Members are Adherent Members that applied for Effective Membership.
Each Effective Member appoints a representative, which shall represent them in the meetings of the General Assembly.
Adherent Members
The Adherent Members are legal entities that represent a Living Lab, which was duly selected according to the ENoLL labelling process. During this process, applicants go through the Membership application process. If the organization fulfils the required acceptance criteria set by ENoLL, Adherent Membership is granted for a period of three years.
Accepted to Grow Members
Accepted to Grow Members are organizations that represent a Living Lab, which were duly selected according to the ENoLL labelling process. If the organization is not mature enough to be acknowledged as an Adherent Member but has a solid base to start from, it will become an Accepted to Grow Member. This means they will be mandatorily linked to the Capacity Building Program of ENoLL, and they’ll be re-evaluated after one year.
Innovation Partners
The Innovation Partners are legal entities which are involved in the objectives and activities of the Association that are not Living Labs themselves but are dedicated to supporting and developing the Living Lab community. They are companies, universities, associations, cities & departments, among others.
We further broaden collaborations with our Memorandums of Understanding (Mou’s), as a bridge to shared goals and shared success. Our Mou’s formalise partnerships and pave the way for mutual growth, as a way for common ideas to become action and collaborations to transform possibilities into reality, creating new opportunities for our Members.
ENoLL Working Groups are dynamic collaborative spaces within the ENoLL community designed to foster knowledge exchange, peer debate, and open innovation. WGs welcome both ENoLL Members and selected external stakeholders to collaborate on tackling pressing challenges and exploring emerging opportunities in key thematic areas.
With a long-term vision, ENoLL WGs foster inclusive cross-border and cross-sectoral collaboration. Through a variety of activities such as networking events, proposal writing, workshops, and virtual or in-person staff exchanges and visits, ENoLL Working Groups offer a platform for continuous learning and experience sharing.
The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is the international, non-profit, independent association of benchmarked Living Labs.
