Innovation is more and more the result of collaborative activities involving all of the participating actors in a co-creative process using emerging information, such as advanced communication techniques, the latest satellite Earth Observation data and other leading-edge technologies.
Recognising this, the European Commission, under the Finnish Presidency, established in November 2006 the European Network of Living Labs to foster the creation of a European-wide platform that brings end-users, industry, small- and medium-sized enterprises and public and private institutions together to jointly develop, validate and demonstrate innovative capabilities.
ESA-ESRIN has established the Frascati Living Lab dedicated to Space, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and environmental applications.
