After a first wave of Living Labs, these new open innovation ecosystems seem to face a set a new problems for its evolution: What is the role of living labs/citizens labs in the overall innovation systems? Is it possible to envision its escalability and universalization? How will they adapt to different countries and cultures? Secondly: How should living labs relate to the new role played by cities in the new innovation systems? In particular, what should be the place of living labs within the context of the so-called “smart cities”? And finally: could living labs be the ground for a new area of research and innovation area? What kind of new professional opportunities will develop from this new scenario?
