Summary
U4IoT (User Engagement for Large Scale Pilots in the Internet of Things) brings together 9 partners from 5 European countries.
The project objectives are to support and enable better and more impactful end-user engagement in LSPs. U4IoT will provide the pilots with cutting-edge end-user engagement methodologies, including co-creative workshops, crowdsourcing and Living Labs. It will provide online tools and resources for end-user engagement, crowdsourcing and personal data protection. The project will provide direct support to the pilots, including training and coaching. A knowledge database will enable to collect, mutualise and capitalise on end-user engagement feedbacks and experience. Co-creative and crowdsourcing methodologies will enable the pilots to engage end-users at a very early stage in the process. U4IoT will assist LSPs to increase the level of end-user engagement in their whole projects. The set of tools and the community will be maintained beyond the duration of the project with the support of the IoT Forum (Figure U4IoT Overall Concept).
The partners provide direct support to mobilize end-user engagement with co-creative workshops and meetups, trainings, Living Labs support, and an online pool of experts to address LSPs specific questions. U4IoT analyses societal, ethical and ecological issues and adoption barriers related to the pilots with end-users and make recommendations for tackling IoT adoption barriers, including educational needs and sustainability models for LSPs and future IoT pilots deployment in Europe.
