Pilot living labs at the JRC

The JRC is opening two of its research sites, Ispra, in Italy, and Petten, in the Netherlands, to host living labs.

These "living labs" create user-centred environments that enable innovation and start-up development. They enable
testing in real-life before new technologies and applications are put into practice. 

These two research sites were chosen as ideal because they meet the conditions for simulating so-called smart cities.

The JRC in Ispra and Petten has already launched several pilot projects on this issue. Research is carried  out here in the areas of transport and mobility, as well as energy.
