Distance LAB
Distance LAB
DistanceLAB creates tools to improve the stakeholders’ resilience and adaptability by improving their skills in remote activities, especially distance soft skills (DIS). The project is topical as the COVID-19 pandemic and energy crisis have pushed organizations for a change. Now it is the time to take advantage of these changes and create new ways of success. The developed tools and methods are divided into 3 categories; communication and innovation, sustainability and remote business strategy. In this application “service” is used as an umbrella term for all these outcomes. These services develop the businesses’ existing activities and evolve them into hybrid and remote. The services and expertise is brought together in a hub. The hub offers the collective expertise of business development experts and the network of Baltic area. The hub is a co-operative effort of all partners and is open for international expansion. Each partner country will develop its own living lab of innovation. The living labs collaborate together in the hub and with other, existing clusters and networks. The hub shares knowledge and experiences on activities following EU and local level strategies by developing and adjusting the business to support the strategic objectives. Transnational collaboration and green transition are the backbone of the project’s activities and later, services provided in the hub. Public actors advocate local strategic changes towards a resilient and remote-adapted society.

Overview
All partners have been actively preparing and participating on pilot preparations. The pilots are presented on this site. Each group of activities (=pilot service topic) produced a deliverable that includes the process of developing the tool, the best practices that stood out in the developing process, a pilot plan, aims, objectives and initial materials. All deliverables will also be published in the project website.
During 2023 we gave a speech and participated in organising a webinar "Increasing Cybersecurity and empowerment in the digital environment in Europe". Also DistanceLAB project manager gave a speech in the European Week of Regions and Cities –event in Brussels.
In November we organised a webinar for whole target group in all countries, and it was continued with local live/online discussions after the speakers. This concept will be repeated later on during the project. Also we have organised meetings for associated partners in all countries.
There is about to be a partner change in Sweden from Skellefteå Science City to IUC Norr. Our hub & living lab –activities are starting from 2024. Testing of all pilots is starting soon (full-scale in 3 countries, small scale in 1-2). There are different types of pilots: workshops, online testing, 1on1 tests.
