On February 14, 2025 the EVOLVE2CARE project was featured at the Harmonization Working Group (WG) meeting of the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). The session brought together participants from Living Labs across Europe and beyond to explore new ways for collaboration and alignment. The discussion included participants from Finland, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada, highlighting the group’s international scope and shared commitment to harmonized practices.

To be more specific, the Harmonization WG seeks to promote greater coherence among Living Lab methodologies, supporting innovation while preserving the flexibility that distinguishes the Living Lab model. This approach directly aligns with EVOLVE2CARE’s objectives to foster accessible, cutting-edge HealthTech innovation in Transitional Care.

During the meeting, EVOLVE2CARE presented a proposal to co-design application processes for external innovators and researchers wishing to engage with Living Labs for study implementation. This initiative aimed to streamline access and support evidence-based innovation across the network.

Notably, Despoina Petsani, who co-chaired the Working Group, held a dual role — representing the ThessAHALL Living Lab as well as EVOLVE2CARE as the project’s coordinator.
