This document discusses inter-regional cooperation in Europe through territorial living labs (TLL). It describes TLL as applying the living lab approach to a territory and its citizens to promote regional development goals like research and innovation. Examples are provided of TLL partnerships in Sicily and a broader Mediterranean network called MedLab funded by the ERDF program. The approach aims to foster multi-level governance models and territorial capital through collaboration between regional authorities, citizens, businesses and universities.
