Abstract

Living labs are a fairly new phenomenon, they are public-private-people partnerships that include knowledge institutions in the process of innovation. Facilitation is setting the stage for these innovations to take place, but this factor has not yet been researched. In order to research the role of facilitation within the living lab network, a conceptual model consisting of relevant theories regarding the context of living labs and facilitation was created. The facilitation of living labs was researched in this thesis, by describing two cases of the utilization of living labs in the Netherlands, namely living lab Zuidhorn and InnovA58. Data was gathered by usage of semi-structured interviews and network structure data in the shape of sketches by interviewees. This data was analyzed in accordance to the previously mentioned conceptual model. The results showed interesting similarities as well as differences regarding contextual factors and facilitation approaches.
