In particular, the following objectives are envisaged as an initial horizon for actions:
- Drive a community of Living Labs active in the domains of Health and Wellbeing around specific projects, and consolidate strong consortiums for future joint projects.
- Promote trans-national and trans-regional collaboration for knowledge sharing and exchange of experiences among the members of the AOTF and their different ecosystems.
- Become a network to promote and help the scalability and exploitation of products and services around health and well-being at local or trans-regional and trans-national level.
- Organize an annual event on “Living Labs on Health and Wellbeing”, beyond the OLLD, with the support of the ENoLL Office.

VITALISE opens up Living Lab Infrastructures as a means to facilitate and promote research activities in the Health and Wellbeing domain in Europe and beyond by enabling in-person Transnational Access to 17 Living Lab research infrastructures and by supporting remote digital access to datasets (Virtual Access) of rehabilitation, transitional care and everyday life activities through harmonized processes and common tools.
ENoLL coordinates the project with the aim of creating a large thematic Living Lab ecosystem of virtually interconnected research infrastructures in the Health and Wellbeing domain which will be made available to a wider research community. ENoLL is also in charge of implementing a Harmonization Framework for Health and Wellbeing Living Labs that will be self-sustainable beyond the project lifecycle and provide a wider, simplified, and more efficient access to Living Lab Infrastructures.
VITALISE contribution to the European Research Area is summarized in two basic points:
- impact user-centered knowledge and approaches to researchers in the Health and Wellbeing domain
- facilitate their work through harmonized procedures and e-infrastructures. Research conducted with Living Labs often yields unique knowledge that is otherwise difficult to achieve.
