“Driving systemic change through Soci(et)al Engagement for real impact” was the focal topic of the Open Living Lab Days 2024 Conference, which is a flagship annual event organized by the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). The event took place on 25-27 September 2024 in Timisoara, Romania.

The GREEN-LOG project was represented at the conference by two research-in-progress papers presented by partners from Halmstad University.

The first paper, delivered by Melania Mihalcea, focused on using co-creative filmmaking as a method for integrating user perspectives in living lab environments. This approach, rooted in the experiences of establishing urban living labs within the GREEN-LOG project, particularly highlights the Oxfordshire case study.

The second paper, presented by Gregor Cerinšek, explored a design ethnographic approach to staging and evaluating co-creation processes in GREEN-LOG Urban Living Labs. This approach involves evaluators actively participating in co-creation from the outset, fostering iterative feedback loops that enhance both the living lab processes and future interventions. The conference proceedings, including both GREEN-LOG open-access articles, are available on the official conference website.
