OpenLivingLab Days is the flagship annual event organised by the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). As the global gathering of international Living Labs, it brings together living labbers, public officials, academics, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators from around the world. The event offers a unique platform for networking, exchanging best practices, collaborating on cutting-edge projects, and for reflecting on the latest trends.
The 2026 edition of OpenLivingLab Days will start in Brussels, with a Policy Event held on 29 September that will foster high-level dialogue between EU institutions and the Living Lab community. The event will present impact results to support EU policies in view of the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and discuss how Living Labs can further contribute under future funding programmes to address key societal challenges.
The OpenLivingLab Days conference will continue in Antwerp on 30 September and 1 October, with panels, workshops, and presentation of research papers, followed by a day of site visits to Belgian Living Labs on 2 October.
