28. LIVERUR Living Lab research concept in rural areas

The LIVERUR project’s short-term objective is to improve knowledge of business models that grow in rural areas, including the understanding of their potential using living labs. LIVERUR created a platform RAIN for improving innovation business model in rural areas. The deliverable (D5.1) titled “Circular rural business hub: database for piloting and stakeholder involvement” contains some useful suggestions on stakeholder mapping. One of the resources of the platform is the LIVERUR toolbox on the use of living labs in rural areas. This toolbox is inspired by the Harmonisation Cube model. One of the faces of the cube is users’ involvement. The toolbox describes the aspects to consider, the task to be accomplished in stakeholder involvement, and provide some specific tools to be used.

Part of interest: Both documents: the annexes of deliverable D5.1 and the part on user involvement, Pp.31-54 of the toolbox.

Target groups: Policymakers, Providers, CSOs, Innovation business, RPOs, Payers, Intermediaries
