However, little has been done to assess its impact and to compare its contribution to other innovation methodologies. This article aims to cover that gap by summarizing the most common European living labs approaches and positioning them in the landscape of user-contributed innovation methodology. The merits and appropriateness of living labs in these settings are also assessed.}, keywords = {innovation, living labs, living labs methodologies, Open innovation, user-driven design}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/603}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/603}, author = {Esteve Almirall and Melissa Lee and Jonathan Wareham} }
