<br>Dear colleagues, please consider submitting your abstract to the open panel
<br>23:
<br>Co-creating or Testing Scalable Societies? Test Beds and Living labs as
<br>Emerging Innovation Policy Instruments
<br>Test beds and living labs (TB/LL) have emerged as a prominent approach to
<br>foster innovation across geographical regions and technical domains, including
<br>in energy, transportation, smart cities, and robotics. Feeding on prominent
<br>policy discourses around "grand societal challenges" and "directed
<br>transformation," TB/LL represent a co-creative, experimental approach to
<br>innovation policy that aims at once to test, demonstrate, and advance new
<br>sociotechnical arrangements in a model environment under real-world
<br>conditions. To that end, TB/LL tentatively stabilize new socio-technical
<br>orders at the meso-scale in an "as-if" mode of technology implementation,
<br>frequently with the promise that local orders could be scaled up or
<br>transferred to future society at large.
<br>In this panel, we interrogate TB/LL as an emergent innovation policy
<br>instruments. We invite papers that address the following questions, among
<br>others:
<br>
<br>  *   How are futures materialized and negotiated in TB/LL?
<br>  *   How, what and who do TB/LL "test"? What forms of control and
<br>participation do they enact?
<br>  *   How do TB/LL create (standardized) model realities? How are these model
<br>realities deemed or made scalable from the "lab" to society at large? What
<br>'afterlife' do they have?
<br>  *   How do TB/LL reconfigure (or reinforce) power structures, inequalities
<br>and subjectivities?
<br>  *   How do TB/LL differ across sites, cultures, scales, and technological
<br>domains? How do models and their outcomes travel?
<br>  *   What interventions of economic actors and public bodies do TB/LL
<br>support?
<br>  *   How can test beds enable new opportunities for responsible innovation
<br>governance?
