JRC Future Mobility Solutions Living Lab (FMS-Lab): conceptual framework, state of play and way forward

cover
Our mission in creating the Future Mobility Solutions Living Lab (FMS-Lab) at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) is to bring the Living Lab (LL) concept much closer to the policy, academic and industrial realms. In particular, we are using the JRC FMS-Lab as a citizen-centred policy design and regulatory-support tool to test a variety of mobility-related policy and regulatory approaches in a real-life environment. We have applied some of the existing LL methodologies to our FMS-Lab, distinguishing the activities at a macro (organisational), meso (project) and micro (individual) level. In particular, at a meso level, we suggest a framework tailored to different types of JRC LLs projects, namely: business model validation projects, projects focused on the co-creation of solutions, technical validation projects and impact assessment projects. We claim that such an approach would lead to higher efficiency and effectiveness in implementing LL projects. Besides, we have identified the main challenges and related recommendations to take into account when setting up a LL. Specifically, this report sets a theoretical basis on which to support the on-going and future work of the JRC FMS-Lab and other JRC LL activities. Other LL practitioners and policy makers could also find value in this work, understanding how the existing LL theories and practices can be applied to the mobility context to support the development of both new mobility solutions and new policies with a human-centric approach.
