Apulian ICT Living Labs – methodology

The Living Labs methodology has been applied in two consecutive steps

Phase 1: Identification of domain specific requirements

o Open Call For Ideas (Official Journal no. 46 of 29/03/2012) in order to collect and bring together themes, requirements, problems and challenges highlighted by the final users belonging to the extended partnership (see below) – thus forming a Requirements Catalogue.

o Opening-up of the Living Labs Partnership Catalogue, where local Associations, Public Bodies, Research Laboratories could register themselves as proposers of user led needs and requirements and at the same time, potential partners of ERDF funded projects aiming to provide solutions to those challenges.

.

Phase 2: Design of appropriate solutions

o Call for Proposal (Official Journal of Apulia Region no. 118 of 09/08/2012 and following) in order to select and grant competitive project proposals aiming to test and validate new and innovative ICT solutions (services, applications, etc.) to face the challenges collected in phase 1.

o Each project proposal had to be submitted by one or more local ICT SMEs, joining up only partners previously registered in the Living Labs Partnership Catalogue and with the requirement of including at least one Association or Public Body and one Research Laboratory in the formal partnership.




Apulian ICT Living Labs – project proposal activities

a) analysis and understanding of end users requirements through specific phases of co-design;

b) definition of the model of interaction between the different actors involved;

c) prototyping and customization of solutions;

d) testing and experimentation of new technologies in real applications matching the actual needs of end users;

e) prototype demonstration and presentation of developed solutions with a public demo lab, with the aim of making also usable by other community members;

f) Economic analysis and sustainability of the results obtained from project experimentation.
