Antwerp and Brussels to host the Open Living Lab Days This Year!

The Open Living Lab Days 2026 will take place in Belgium! This conference is the leading annual networking event of the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), bringing together more than 300 innovators, living labs, and academics from around the world. As a co-organiser, LiCalab is proud to contribute to shaping this event.

From 29 September to 2 October 2026, Belgium will host the Open Living Lab Days, an international conference on open innovation and living labs. The event will kick off with a policy session in Brussels, bringing together European policymakers. On 30 September and 1 October, participants will gather in the stunning “Room with a Zoo” venue in Antwerp.

Under the theme “Living Lab Impacts and Values for a Changing World,” this edition will focus on the impact and added value of living labs in a rapidly changing society.

LiCalab has been an active contributor to the international living lab network for many years, and we were excited to take on a role in both the practical organisation and the programme of this year’s conference. We warmly invite you to come and meet us!
