Proceedings of the OpenLivingLab Days Conference 2025 - Living Labs for Regenerative Futures: Connecting local and global innovation ecosystems

This report is a compilation of the papers presented between the 1st and the 2nd of October 2025, in Andorra, as part of the OpenLivingLab Days conference.

The publications contained here are a result of the double-blinded peer review and evaluation procedure carried out between April and June of 2025 as part of the “Call for papers” responding to the theme of the OpenLivingLab Days 2025 conference: “Living Labs For Regenerative Futures: Connecting local and global innovation systems”

The conference had five different tracks forming the core of the event, including the research sessions:

• Living Labs for Grand Societal Challenges

• Living Labs for Policies, Governance, Collaboration, and Innovation Ecosystems

• Living Labs for Inclusive Soci(et)al Engagement

• Living Labs for Business and Emerging Technology

• Living Labs Operations, Methods, Tools, and Impacts

The “Call for papers” encouraged contributions from three different paper categories to stimulate a diverse participation of actors: ‘Full Research Papers’ refers to complete research with clear results, ‘Research in Progress Papers’ presenting relevant preliminary results and ‘Innovation Presentation Outline’ describing Living Lab practices and experiences.

To maintain full transparency in the evaluation process, all reviewers and submissions were anonymized to eliminate any bias. Once the evaluations were completed, reviewers' comments were carefully compiled and shared anonymously with the authors. This approach allowed authors to receive objective and constructive feedback, enabling them to refine and enhance their papers.
