LIVERUR project – Living laboratories Living Lab research concept in rural areas

The aim of the LIVERUR project:

Expand the most promising and innovative business model in rural areas living lab or living laboratory. Living laboratories ir jauns un perspektīvs, uz lietotāju vērsts pētniecības koncepts, kas darbojas noteiktā teritorijā, vienlaicīgi integrējot pētniecības un inovācijas procesus caur valsts un privāto partnerību. Lauku apvidu dzīvās laboratorijas stratēģiskās attīstības pamatā ir ilgtspējīgas ieinteresēto pušu partnerības veidošana visos līmeņos: ietotāji (iedzīvotāji), patērētāji (uzņēmumi), attīstītāji (pētnieki, zinātnieki, speciālisti) un starpnieki (publiskās nozares) savā starpā noslēdz līgumus, uz kā pamata viņi veido ilgtermiņa sadarbību. Katras dzīvās laboratorijas modeli stipri ietekmē konkrētās vietas specifika, mērķi un ambīcijas. LIVERUR projekts identificē dzīvās laboratorijas kā novatoriskus uzņēmējdarbības modeļus, kas pašlaik attīstās lauku apvidos. Projekta ietvaros tiks veiktas sociāli ekonomiskas analīzes, lai identificētu, aprakstītu un salīdzinātu atšķirības starp jauno “dzīvās laboratorijas” pieeju un tradicionālām uzņēmējdarbības metodēm (masveida ražošana, cenu attīstība, izmaksu optimizēšana ar uzņēmumiem, racionalizācija).  LIVERUR projekts īpašu uzmanību pievērš for living laboratories, as they contribute to more sustainable resource mobilization, improved cooperation between all actors throughout the cooperation process and lead to new services. Living laboratories uses the concept of open innovation in a broader sense – with successes and failures determined by empirically based research and its conclusions. As empirically based research is still lacking, LIVERUR’s short-term goal is to improve knowledge about emerging business models in rural areas, including understanding their potential. The long-term goal of the project is to increase the economic diversification potential of rural areas.
