to discourage interested people

• Policy Recommendations

Francisco Perez Trejo

• Policy implementation process
• Contribution of Living Labs
• Innovation policies
• Sustainability and scaling-up
• Recommendations to policy makers
• Methodological approach
• Recommendations framework
• Strategic approach for contributing to Rural

Development

• The Impact of Living Labs
• Linking research results to sustainable

development

• Link to rural development and innovation policy

process

• Social networks - scaling-up mechanisms

• Contributions to scaling-up C@R RLL
• Using the FAO Rural Development Initiative and

the network of decentralized offices to support the international Living Labs initiative

• C@R can provide the direct link to the

international policy process though partners like FAO

• National and regional projects (Syria, Haiti

reconstruction)

• NEPAD
• Ibero-American Summit (11 November 2010)

• Policy Support Tool

Javier Garcia Guzmán

• Needs Covered
• The C@R PST is intended to cover two types of

functionalities:

• To support the policy and strategy management at

Living Lab level

• Environmental Scanning
• Policy/Strategy Formulation
• Follow up of strategy implementation
• Dissemination of current state
• To evaluate how Living Labs are contributing to

implement specific policies, such as innovation or rural development

• http://www.c-rural.net

• Main Components
• Information Model
• Questionnaire-based approach
• Questionnaire Preparation
• Filling-up questionnaire
• Answers integration
• Internal information upgrade
• Information analysis and presentation
• Based on mental maps approach
• Information maps able to be modified for better idea

presentation and web-based visualization

• PST Validation
• Validation activities
• The first validation activity was performed by C@R

staff, guided by PST staff by means of demonstration.

• The second validation activity was performed by

partners of Mediterranean Living Labs (MEDLAB) project in two times, each of them performing a demonstration of the C@R PST capabilities and interviews to gather the experts feedback.

• Validation Findings -1
• Main conclusions obtained from the evaluation
• The structure of the information model was considered

appropriate

• The internal C@R experts considered the

questionnaire-based approach a good strategy to gather the information on results and added value that is required for the analysis of contribution of Living Labs to the implementation of innovation and rural development policies.

• The analysis of the implementation and impact of a

specific policy based on mind maps was well appreciated.

• Validation Findings -2
• Main conclusions obtained from the evaluation
• The tool in its current appearance is useful only for

Living Lab managers and policy makers to define and evaluate policies and strategies.

• Initial training is required to use efficiently the tool,

because the process to prepare and manage the questionnaires was not considered as easy to learn.

• The information obtained is relevant for Living Lab

managers and policy makers involved actively in the Living Lab but difficult to interpret for external stakeholders.

• Evolution
• Enhance the public policies definition based on the Living

Lab activity and results.

• The identification of recommendation to policy makers by means of

collaborative scenario building;

• Specific tools for implementing in a collaborative way the processes

for policy definition, control and evaluation.

• Enhance the participative orientation to define, control and

evaluate policies adapting social software tools.

• Enhance the gathering of external information from the LL

community to enable information retrieval mechanisms.

• Include information of the instruments implementing the

public policies related to Living Labs.

• Creation of networks of interested partners in several

technological areas considered in Living Labs.

• Exploitation
• Exploitable Knowledge/Results and its use
• Main tangible outcomes > set of RLL, backed by

supporting infrastructure and collaborative applications

• Applications developed can also be seen as a set of

individual exploitable results (components)

• To understand better how those applications work

together it is convenient to group them by RLL (see next slide)

• A major asset is the RLL methodologies, which can be

used as a basis to start new living labs and provide support during the LL life cycle.

Three Exploitation / Operating Models

• Exploitation
• Barriers and issues
• Local standards, privacy, lack of funding or limited

buying power, impact far in the future, market not ready, lack of technology adoption, language, policies not strong enough, risks too high to be considered by

• ne single actor.
• Sustainability
• Portal, repository of tools, open source licence
• Involvement of various partners, Local Action Groups,

collaboration, commitment of the different actors, rely

• n public agents.

• C@R Impact
• Proposals and projects deriving from C@R
• CIP & eContentPlus
• FP7 (RTD)
• National funding (Spain, Germany, Czech Republic,

Hungary, Finland, …)

• Private funding
• Social impact
• Transfer (new business, incubatees)
• Innovation (new living labs in progress)
• Reach end-users (new employments)
• Policies (ministerial recommendations)
