Soon 3 months ago during its EU presidency Finland launched the European Network of Living Labs.

I'm not the only one who after that has tried to find the website to that project. The result is just links to old pages with links to old pages with links...

The most trustable place in that carousel seems to be this AMI@Work site. Here people have expressed their interests to LL and in the AMI groups I can find the key persons of LL operations in different countries. Is it so?

I understand that it takes time to create an own www.livinglabs.eu - but why just that stupid "This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon." We need more inspiring and informative teasers to stay awake - especially in question of LIVING labs. What? When? Where? How?

At the same time there seems to be another equal collaboration on the market: "European Living Labs". What is its role in these circles: Section? Part? Competitor? ...? If the Living Labs are living enough, I'm sure they could cooperate flexibly and still have enough exciting challenges each.

This AMI site has already traditions but it has taken new promising steps, too. Technically it offers an own workspace with blogs and everything to everyone in this community.

Why couldn't we all be challenging here and make these ami-communities.eu the nicest common place we know! A real LIVING lab and gateway to the "dream team" co-operation of all those unique Living Labs.

Innovative interactivity!
