Title The Living Lab Modeler. A tool to leverage the activities and impact of your Living Lab
Abstract The Living Lab Modeler (LLM) is a web-based application that enables the digital representation of Living Labs (LLs) and the facilitation of their activities. LLM is designed on the premise of LLs being user-centred innovation ecosystems that rely on multi-stakeholder collaboration to drive innovation. The LLM addresses commonly observed shortcomings in the operation of Living Labs, by providing a digital solution to support core LL activities such as stakeholder management, activity tracking, outcome documentation, and reporting, including also more specialised modules that depict the interactions among the LL's 'ecosystem' entities. The first version of LLM was developed as part of the DESIRA H2020 project and tested with European LLs that sprang on the premise of DESIRA. This paper presents the empirical observations along with Living Lab related theoretical and conceptual perspectives that contributed to the shaping of the LLM, subsequently developing on the main design principles and functionalities, providing a comprehensive outline of the multifaceted capabilities of the tool and showcasing its potential.
