Abstract
In the past 15 years, Livings Labs (LLs) have been emerging as a process for implementing Social Open Innovation in Urban Innovation Ecosystems. This approach has shown significant contributions to for example urban transition, garnering substantial interest from academia, practitioners, and policymakers. Nevertheless, LLs face criticisms regarding sustainability, monitoring and scalability. In this context, a key aspect for both understanding and managing LLs is the perpetual evaluation of the value creation that is being created through these processes. Existing (LL) assessment frameworks often fall short in providing both generalizable and context-specific insights. Therefore, this study bridges this gap by drawing upon established literature and frameworks, such as the Theory of Change framework, participatory assessment approaches, and existing LL value assessment literature. Through two co-creative focus groups, these theoretical foundations were applied to develop the Living Lab Assessment Method (LLAM). The LLAM represents a methodology for context-sensitive value assessments of Living Labs.
