This report describes a framework for the implementation of DPEB Innovation Labs in +CityxChange LHCs and FCs and the enhancement of existing centres where they exist. A +CityxChange DPEB Innovation Lab is defined as a dedicated centre for digital innovation within a city focused on the creation and replication of DPEBs. It comprises a P rogramme, and virtual and physical locations, or network of locations, where implementation of the +CityxChange Innovation Playground can become manifest. Located physically and conceptually within the +CityxChange Innovation Playground, key stakeholders and users of DPEB Innovation Labs include government, academia, business, and civil society representing the four actors of the quadruple helix model of innovation. The objectives of DPEB Innovation Labs include: ● Initiating new collaborative operating structures. ● Cultivating an Open Innovation 2.0 ecosystem for entrepreneurs and start-ups. ● Supporting competition and innovation in the creation and replication of DPEBs. ● Enabling a permeable culture of co-creation in the city. D3.6: Framework for DPEB Innovation Labs , v.05 6 October 30, 2020 DPEB Innovation Labs: ● Host open challenges to develop solutions to progress the creation of DPEBs. ● Provide a place where the design and operation of DPEBs are visualised and analysed. ● Are connected to the +CityxChange ICT ecosystem enabling access to data and visualisation tools. ● Directly integrate with city participatory processes and city governance systems including the development of the Bold City Vision. ● Host active learning processes. ● Enable access to the +CityxChange Citizen Observatory system. This Framework for DPEB Innovation Labs contains: ● A S tep-by-step Process to initiate and implement a DPEB Innovation Lab in a city. ● Guidance on collaborative operating structures for orchestrators and users of the DPEB Innovation Lab including Open Innovation 2.0 Principles of the DPEB Innovation Lab. ● A l ist of potential DPEB Innovation Lab I ngredients a rranged as elements using the structure developed in D3.3: Framework for Innovation Playgrounds and including: ○ Places: Physical locations, tools and equipment and virtual locations supporting DPEB Innovation Lab collaborations. ○ Data: Describing linkages to the +CityxChange ICT Ecosystem and the Decision Support Tool (DST). ○ Enabling Mechanisms: Enabling DPEB Innovation Lab stakeholders put in place different aspects of an Innovation Lab. ○ Activities: Which can be assembled to create the DPEB Innovation Lab Programme. Finally, this report suggests how DPEB Innovation Labs can be sustained beyond the duration of the +CityxChange project, through embedding their operation in the cycle of city governance and expanding their scope to encompass the sustainable transition of the city as expressed in its Bold City Vision.

  • Makerspaces and Urban Ideology: the Institutional Shaping of Fab Labs in China and Northern Ireland
    Makerspaces and urban ideology: the institutional shaping of Fab Labs in China and Northern Ireland Dr. Pip Shea School of Media, Film and Journalism Monash University Dr. Xin Gu School of Media, Film and Journalism Monash University Abstract Makerspaces—specifically those with a focus on digital fabrication and physical computing—are emerging as symbols of social and economic change in many cultures. Much of the empirical evidence that provides details of this phenomenon has been gathered in neo- liberal market economies in Europe and North America. Existing findings have helped situate makerspaces as sites that emphasise ‘commons based peer production’ underscored by non- proprietary ‘gift economies’ (see Gershenfeld 2005, Anderson 2012, Troxler 2013, Kostakis et. al 2015). These narratives have been expanded by findings that reveal how participation is shaped—and often impeded—by the communities, platforms, and policies surrounding makerspaces (see Alper 2013, Toupin 2014, Moilanen et al 2015, Shea 2016). This paper contributes to the literature through an analysis of the institutional arrangements of Fab Labs in China and Northern Ireland. It argues that processes of institutionalisation within these makerspaces are shaped by the specific urban ideologies they are bound to. Fab Labs in Belfast and Derry (Northern Ireland) are deployed as facilitators and enablers of unification processes in a post-conflict society, while Fab Labs in Shenzhen (China) have been manipulated for a specific post-industrial agenda.

  • Live Software for Reprap Assembly Workshops
    Torbjørn Ludvigsen Live Software for RepRap Assembly Workshops MASTER'STHESIS SUPERVISOR:MARCINJAKUBOWSKI EXAMINER:MARTINROSVALL DEPARTMENTOFPHYSICS UME AUNIVERSITY˚ This document was compiled on June 16, 2016. Status: Defended and approved This work is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International licence. Copyright © 2016 Torbjørn Ludvigsen Abstract A key step when initiating robot powered production is setting up the control software. This can be a threshold for operators, especially if the software is fragmented and system requirements are extensive. One way to address this is to pre-configure all the control programs and bundle them with a system that fulfills all the requirements. In this work a live Operating System (OS) is loaded with control software and configured to meet the needs of those who have just as- sembled their first 3D printer. The problem of downloading, configuring and installing various 3D printer controlling programs is reduced to the problem of distributing and booting the live OS. The solution of loading it onto bootable USB drives is tested and evaluated in the context of a commercial RepRap Assembly Workshop (RAW), an event where people pay for RepRap 3D printer parts as well as assembly and usage supervision. The RAW is unusually short, so the bootable USB drives' potential to help RAW hosts with particularly tight time schemes is tested. The results show a limited success. The USB drive is documented not to work for 3 participant groups out of a total of 11 groups. As a solution to fragmented software and diverse system requirements, the live OS is found to work well once booted.

Data from Italian Fab Labs were collected using a questionnaire survey; 27 Fab Labs participated to the survey. The results show that, while some laboratories are still in an embryonic phase, with no or very few registered users, others are in full activity reaching over 100 users. Italian laboratories are characterized by ample space available, but limited capacity for investment in machinery and technology. The role of Fab Labs in the Italian economic panorama could be double, and affect the consumer side, transforming consumers in “co-designers” of products, and on the other side, helping businesses designing and building prototypes to improve products ‘quality.

  • Maker Spaces
    Makerspaces in Libraries Dr. Parveen Babbar Deputy Librarian Jawaharlal Nehru University Email- [email protected] What is Makerspace Makerspace is a separate place for collaboration or collaborative work in library or work area for making, learning, exploring, and sharing. Laura Flemings explains that it is a “metaphor for a unique learning environment that encourages tinkering, play and open ended exploration for all the users of the library” (https://worlds-of-learning.com). As per John J Bruke, it is the “area in a library where users can use tools and equipment to design, build, and create all sorts of different things. It may be a dedicated room or a multipurpose space in which a collection of raw materials and resources can be utilized as desired. Projects range from prototyping product designs with 3D printers, to programming robots, to creating art out of recycled items”.

Methodologically, the article is the result of both a bibliographical research and an empirical research, from which, in contemporary times, is evidenced the strengthening of flexible, collaborative, creative and innovative processes, prevailing premises in the maker movement.

Having paved the way with the concepts of open innovation (OI), Chesbrough (2003, 2006) and Von Hippel (2006) have conceptualised a trend that radically alters our classic design and research model. Challenging the traditional principle of innovation, which is internal and “closed”, the concept of OI has shed light on brand new practices that aim to boost a company’s innovative capacity through its relations and exchanges with the exterior.
