APOLLON: Advanced Pilots of Living Labs Operating in Networks
The APOLLON objec.ves:
Demonstrate the value for SMEs of a European network of local open innova8on pla9orms
Set up thema8c networks of Living Labs across Europe
Develop a common approach for cross-‐border Living Lab experiments
What is needed for cross-border Living Lab Networks?
Common methodology
Common ecosystem approach
Common research benchmark
Common platform guidelines
Common integration framework
APOLLON Cross-Border Methodology Framework
Current activity: Baseline research
• Online questionnaire aimed at – Partner SMEs
– Partner Living Labs • 50 questions about the different aspects of LL networking • Questions for possible categorization of LL's and their
– Motivation and Methods of Collaboration – Tools and Techniques used in Cross-Border Collaboration, – Needs and wants for Methodological instruments
All aimed at understanding the present state, and the needs for development
Experiment 1: Homecare & Independent Living
Help involved SMEs explore new markets;
Improve the technologies and devices used in the
homecare context through the valida8on in different
contexts
Remote gateway and sensor based systems for
homecare and independent living
Transfer local market solu8ons to another na8onal market
Current activity: Requirement identification and design of experiment
• Requirement checklist on different levels: • Organiza8onal, technical, research, roles & responsibili8es, legal / regulatory
• Role of the ‘host’ living lab – Informa8on provider
• Insight in contextual factors • Knowledge of the local eco-‐system
– Broker • Distribu8on hub and Connec8on to local partners • Set-‐up partnerships
• Operational – Need to work in small, dedicated teams
– All necessary stakeholders involved from the start
Experiment 2: Energy Efficiency
Assess the poten8al of Home Control pla9orm
BeRer understanding of user behaviour and processes to s8mulate behavioural change in terms of Energy consump8on;
Contribute to decreasing the Carbon Foot Print
Current activity: Requirement identification and establishment of SME partnerships
ISA interna8onaliza8on strategy to establish business partnerships in Luleå and Vitória (equipment distribu8on), integrated solu8ons in Helsinki and Amsterdam (incorpora8ng added value with other equipments and services) and adding value by technology transfer from Amsterdam.
Experiment 3: eManufacturing
• An ‘App Store’ around a manufacturing platform: link up machines, sensors, etc.
• SMEs can add or mash up these services to new, innovative apps
• Test them in live ‘Living Lab’ factories
Current activity: use case refinement and SME engagement
Experiment 4: eParticipation - Social Media
A pilot on the aggregation of Media Technologies using 3D, cross-media, community reporting and context aware mobile applications to include citizens in the urban innovation process.
Test how eMedia technologies can be aggregated to enable citizens to take part in urban planning of the City of the Future & to explore its History
First Pilot: The Digital Fort Project, Issy Les Moulineaux
Enhance Awareness Facilitate Citizen’s involvement
Foster participation and innovation
Providing Documents, learn Witness, Journalism Imagine the future
Current activity: Requirement analysis and Refining scenario for the experiment
Users’ role
Technology’s role

Community Report SME: People Voice Media
Cross-Media Documentary SME: 3d2+
Interactive 3D Urban Plan SME: Navidis
Context Aware mobile app SME: Air Graffiti

Towards Sustainable Impacts
• Establishment of 4 cross-border Living Labs Domain Networks: -‐ LL Domain Network for Health -‐ LL Domain Network for Energy -‐ LL Domain Network for Manufacturing -‐ LL Domain Network for Media
Main impact: Building Commons, Reaching Cri8cal Mass, Contribu8ng to Domain Innova8on
• Development of “Cross Border Piloting Service”: -‐ deliver a service offering the APOLLON set of methodologies and the consultancy on how to implement them -‐ released through the European Network of Living Labs
Main impact: possibility to develop new pilots at local and European scale & to replicate local pilot in different markets around Europe
In order to create a sustainable impact two actions will be undertaken: the development of “Cross Border Piloting Service” and the setting-up of Thematic Domain Networks
Additional Partners: Involvement Level
