Living Labs

Living Labs are open innovation ecosystems set within real-life environments and are based on a user co-creation methodology that integrates research and innovation activities in communities, placing citizens at the centre of innovation. Using the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) framework, students, staff and researchers at TU Dublin can orchestrate projects in an open innovation process to connect and partner with relevant stakeholders.

TU Dublin has a number of Living Labs in development, which operate as intermediaries among civil society, fellow academic institutions, industry and government (the Quadruple Helix Model) for joint value co-creation, rapid prototyping, or to scale up action research and innovation.
