And what about integrating learning into real RDI environments through Living Labs?
There is an interesting example of this integration of learning into real RDI environments in the Lutakko Living Lab (Jyväskylä, in central Finland) where user-led methodology is used to do it. Students are engaged in Living Lab projects/environments as learners, researches, innovators and entrepreneurs. It is also very interesting their Entrepreneur Centre of Excellence (http://www.tiimiakatemia.fi/en/) and the usage of Living Labs as a tool to support student incubation and start-ups.
They aslo work integrating the Living Lab concept to the Business incubator generator: engaged users, user centric methodology and user data supporting start-up business processes from learning to innovation.
I think this approach can truly help to boost entrepreneurship and innovation.

It would be great if you
It would be great if you could share this and other partnerships between citizens, business and academia and these open innovation models in the Innovation Charter: http://daa.ec.europa.eu/content/writing-together-digital-innovation-charter. Let us know your views on that. Thanks for sharing this interesting experience!
