The leading organization empowering the global development of living labs as enablers of impactful open innovation ecosystems where everyone can co-create and innovate via cross border & cross sectoral collaboration in an inclusive way.

THUAS as Innovation partner

Since 2024, we have been actively involved in the objectives and activities of this international network. While we are not a Living Lab ourselves, we are committed to supporting and strengthening the Living Lab community at the European, Dutch, and South Holland levels.

Representing The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS), the research group Designing Value Networks coordinates this innovation partnership in collaboration with the three other universities of applied sciences within the South Holland Impact Alliance (SHIA): Inholland UAS, Leiden UAS, and Rotterdam UAS.

Through our active participation in this European network, we aim to share knowledge and experiences, engage in meaningful collaborations, explore opportunities for (international) partnerships, contribute to publications, and apply for co-funding. By supporting and leveraging this platform, we enhance THUAS’s visibility and help advance and innovate education and research in The Hague and the province of South Holland.

ENoLL Working Group on Education & Learning and Research Group

The Designing Value Networks research group co-leads the ENoLL Working Group Education and Learning and is a core member of the ENoLL Research Group. This working group was established to foster knowledge exchange and to create networking opportunities for Living Labs and organisations involved in higher education institutions (HEIs), schools, and vocational training centres. One of its main goals is to support institutions in innovating their educational systems.

Target group

This network is particularly relevant for Living Lab coordinators, lecturers, educators, students, and programme managers working with or interested in Living Labs.
