Living lab methods and tools for fostering everyday life innovation

Living Lab is a user-centric open innovation approach for fostering everyday life innovation in users´ real life contexts. Based on the Living Lab literature review and our own Living Lab practice experiences, we propose a Living Lab methodology framework and taxonomy of Living Lab methods and tools. We test and illustrate the proposed framework and taxonomy by two international Living Lab projects cases. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications of this paper.
