October 2025 – Evolve2Care

Two training programs, one goal — Your feedback matters

Over the past months, EVOLVE2CARE has successfully wrapped up two insightful six-part training programs — one for HealthTech Innovators & Researchers, led by Anthology Ventures, and one for Living Labs, guided by ENoLL.

Across twelve sessions, we saw great participation, masterful speakers, and lively discussions that turned every meeting into a space for shared learning and collaboration. Together, we explored how innovation can move more quickly from the Living Labs to the market and how Living Labs can play a stronger role in supporting that journey.

Now, it’s your turn to assess the experience.

We invite all participants to share their feedback through our short questionnaires. Your insights will help us refine and improve future initiatives.

If you attended at least four out of six sessions, keep an eye on your inbox: your Certificate of Participation is coming soon!

The EVOLVE2CARE Open Call is still open! Take the next step and put what you have learned into practice; innovators and Living Labs are supported to collaborate and test a HealthTech solution in real-world conditions. Apply now: https://evolve2care.eu/open-call/

EVOLVE2CARE Open Call deadline extended to 6 November 2025

In response to the strong interest generated by the EVOLVE2CARE Open Call for HealthTech Innovators and Living Labs, the project is pleased to announce an extension of the submission deadline to 6 November 2025 (17:00 Brussels Time).

The extension offers additional time for HealthTech stakeholders, researchers, SMEs, and innovators to prepare and submit their proposals. It’s a unique opportunity to collaborate with Health and Wellbeing Living Labs across Europe and accelerate innovation in the Transitional Care sector.

Through the Open Call, (up to) ten selected innovators will receive Living Lab services valued at up to €5,000, including co-creation, user engagement, product validation, and access to data and infrastructure. This support will enable innovators to test and refine their solutions in real-world environments before market launch.

The EVOLVE2CARE project team encourages all interested parties to take advantage of this extended timeline and submit their proposals by the new deadline of 6 November 2025.

EVOLVE2CARE at Open Living Lab Days 2025

EVOLVE2CARE proudly participated in Open Living Lab Days 2025, the flagship annual event of the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), held in Andorra la Vella from September 30 to October 3, 2025. This year’s edition embraced a unique concept—transforming an entire country into a Living Lab—making Andorra a dynamic testing ground for innovation.

Under the theme “Living Labs for Regenerative Futures: Connecting Local and Global Innovation Ecosystems,” the event brought together Living Lab professionals, public officials, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, and innovators from around the world. Discussions focused on how Living Labs can go beyond sustainability to regenerate ecological, social, and economic systems actively.

EVOLVE2CARE had a strong and impactful presence, represented by key members from ENoLL and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH):

Marta I. De Los Rios White and Francesca Sperandio (ENoLL), who contributed to the organization and networking activities.
Evdokimos Konstantinidis, Project Coordinator of EVOLVE2CARE and Vice Chair of ENoLL (AUTH), presented the research paper “Optimizing Data Collection Planning for Living Labs’ Access and Effectiveness”.
Despoina Petsani, Project Mission Coordinator (AUTH) of EVOLVE2CARE, who presented the paper “Defining the Role of Living Labs to Clinical Research: Initial Findings for Framework Development.”
EVOLVE2CARE members supported the session “Bridging the Gap Between Living Labs and Companies: Towards a Stronger Collaboration Relationship.”

In addition, EVOLVE2CARE was featured at the ENoLL Valorisation Booth, showcasing its mission to accelerate HealthTech innovation through experimentation and collaboration between Living Labs and innovators. Our active participation reflects EVOLVE2CARE’s commitment to fostering collaboration between Living Labs and health innovation ecosystems, paving the way for solutions that regenerate and thrive.
