Approach

Setting the Stage for Innovation

TRANSMIXR revolutionizes technology integration by transforming everyday environments into “Living Labs.” This innovative methodology centers on user and stakeholder co-creation, making them active participants in developing meaningful, practical solutions. By designing technology with and for communities, the project ensures its advanced innovations remain grounded in real-world needs, ultimately bridging the gap to a more connected, empowered, and culturally enriched world.

Living Lab Methodology: A Closer Look

Our development is agile and responsive. From the pre-piloting phase, where we dive deep into user and technical requirements, to robust pilot phase testing in real-world scenarios, each cycle refines and enhances our tools. Our journey culminates in a post-pilot phase that assesses the impact and sets the stage for broader application and adoption.

Pre-pilot

Phase #1

Requirement Analysis and Co-Creation

Here, the user & technical requirements will be defined, together with the definition and design of the use cases. For each use case, we will employ dedicated co-creation sessions. In these sessions, the specific needs of the user groups will be derived and translated into a set of social, functional and ethical requirements as input for the specification of the use case scenarios and for the technology development. The user and technical requirements will therefore be further discussed and refined in a workshop with all project partners.

Pilot

Phase #2

Exploration, Experimentation and Evaluation

For each use case, we foresee an iterative approach with three distinct pilot phases.
In a first phase, the developed prototypes will be tested and developed in a more controlled setting. In phase 2 and 3, we move towards an open pilot with a more mature proof of concept, increasing the number of testers accordingly.

Post-pilot

Phase #3

Impact Assessment, Exploitation Plan and Training Programme

In this phase, we will focus on an overall pilot impact assessment, evaluation of the cross-sectoral transferability of results and stakeholder engagement activities in addition to exploitation activities.
