This workshop was organised by ENoLL, supported by CO-LLABS, Eurocities and APOLLON. The workshop was divided in 2 main sections: Networking starting in the morning and Co-creating in the afternoon.
The networking sessions started with 3 presentation: the first one, presented by Mr. Roberto Santoro, focused on the opportunity of co-creating "smart" commons through the Open System of Living Labs Community; Mr. Dave Carter showed then the role of Smart Cities as Creative Cities emphasising challanges and opportunities and the need of a real citizen engagement.

After the introduction, the networking session was led by Mr. Hans Schaffers where many participants were given the opportunity to present and discuss their experience and ideas with a view towards development of Call 4 Pilot B proposals. On basis of this session, four thematic domains emerged as a basis for Pilot B proposals. A joint co-creating session was organized in four parallel working groups to elaborate the potential Pilot B proposals. The groups elaborated their proposals focusing on three aspects: ideas that make a city "smart", innovative services to be delivered by Smart Cities based on Future Internet technologies and existing platforms made available by involved Cities and LLs.
