What is a Living Lab?
A Living Lab is a participatory innovation approach that seeks to include local communities, citizens and traditional stakeholders at every stage of the project, from design to deployment.
It is through this approach, combining scientific experimentation and stakeholder consultation, that we hope to create a shared dynamic for the dissemination of innovation.
The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Living Laboratory
It covers the entire Landes de Gascogne massif and brings together public bodies, forestry stakeholders, forest fire risk experts and research organizations.
In the case of FIRE-RES, innovations had been identified prior to the project. A roadmap and a diagnosis of the study area had been carried out in order to choose the most relevant innovations to be tested in the territory. The work program is regularly updated as the activities are rolled out and the various innovations are assessed.
