Territorial Living Lab
“… integrally applies the LL approach to a territory and its citizens, its model of governance and its strategic plans for the future: in essence, it can be conceived of as a new model for regional development.”

Lessons Learned
• Obstacles encountered– Open partnership network contrasts with existing relationships
between actors– Multi-channel funding strategy new to most actors, creating
difficulties in negotiating and defining roles– Variety of nature and form of network partners compounded by lack
of a unique “lead” partner
• Balancing factors– Role of European dimension in breaking established power relations– Transparency and invitation to “co-design” attracts new players and
creates “trust capital”– Prospect of increasing access to own funding channels empowers
participating institutions and actors

cohesion, sustainable development– Objective 1.1: dissemination of innovative technologies and know-
how
• Objective: build a Mediterranean Living Lab– Multi-level multi-sector governance network– Integration of LL approach into regional policy
• Trans-national Pilot Projects– Inno-SMEs, Rural, Coastal, Planning, Tourism– Transnational partnerships and MoUs

Regional Policies
• European Regional Development Fund– EU Strategic Guidelines and National Strategic Reference
Frameworks provide common structure to regional OPs– Information Society Strategies: emphasis on public services
(education, health, etc.) e-government and digital divide– Innovation Strategies: emphasis on reinforcing link between basic
research (University) and industry (incl. SMEs)– Lack of transversal policies including social innovation
• European Agricultural Regional Development Fund– New programme, including innovation in rural economies and
bottom-up LEADER initiatives
• Other instruments: European Social Fund, European Fisheries Fund…

Conclusions
• Territorial Living Labs introduce the regional policy dimension and the concept of “territorial innovation”
• Living Lab partnerships and governance structures evolve through a cyclic institutionalisation process
• Regional policies do not adequately support transversal social innovation initiatives, but appear to be moving there
• Living Labs can benefit significantly by opening up to local networks of creative energies
• Governance issues need to be addressed through interlinked multi-level networks: regional, national, intra-national…
