Living labs are a modern way of creating user-centred environments that enable innovation, co-creation and start-up development.

JRC is launching a call for expressions of interest to co-create living labs in two of its research sites in Ispra (Italy) and Petten (the Netherlands) for smart city solutions, namely starts up and other actors who might want to test their innovation in a city-like controlled environment at the JRC labs.

The pilot call is open to public and private organisations (in particular small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups). The application deadline is 31 December 2021 but proposals may be submitted at any stage and JRC will notify applicants about the results of the selection process approximately every 3 months.
