Dear members of the KnowledgeBoard Community,

Many of you are interested in Living Labs and open innovation progress. Even many of you who have not yet registered yourselves specifically as members of the Living Labs Open Innovation Community no doubt share this interest.

We therefore wish to share with you the key news about the following upcoming event:

The European Network of Living Labs Event, in preparation for the Portuguese Presidency, will be held in Guimarгes, Portugal, on Monday-Wednesday, 21-23 May 2007.

The event will feature the launch of the Call for Applications for the "2nd wave" of the European Network of Living Labs which is expected to lead to 15-20 new Living Labs joining the European Network of Living Labs in October 2007 during the Portuguese EU Presidency.

Details will be posted at http://www.openlivinglabs.eu.
