On May 27, 2025, the international scientific conference “Living Labs: Opening Innovation Ecosystems for Co-creation and Impact” took place at the Faculty of Public Health of LSMU in Kaunas, Lithuania. The event was organized by the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences (LCSS), Institute of Economics and Rural Development, together with LLLNet – the National Network of Living Labs, the Research Council of Lithuania, and LSMU.
Researchers from LCSS actively contributed by moderating sessions, joining plenary discussions, and presenting key initiatives:
the Horizon Europe GRASS Ceiling Project (Dr. Vida Dabkienė, Dr. Tomas Baležentis),
the European Innovation Partnerships (EIP) (Dr. Nelė Jurkėnaitė), and
the new LIRA Lab of LCSS (Dr. Rita Lankauskienė).
This conference was an excellent platform to strengthen collaboration and promote Living Labs as drivers of innovation and co-creation.
