The Effective members are Adherent Members that request, with a letter of intent, to upgrade their membership to Effective Membership. Each Effective Members enjoy a higher level of engagement within the Network; they can lead Working Groups, be elected as part of the ENoLL Council, represent ENoLL in high-level events organised at European and International level, join projects, etc. This status ensures a high degree of exposure, within the network and with external stakeholders. Effective Member shall designate a representative to act on its behalf in the meetings of the General Assembly; furthermore, only Effective Members have rights to vote during general Assemblies.
By default, all ENoLL Living Labs start as either Accepted to Grow or Adherent members. If an Adherent ENoLL Living Lab wishes to upgrade to an Effective Member, the following steps should be taken:
Contact the ENoLL Office at enollnetwork@enoll.org requesting the application materials (Self-assessment tool and Qualitative Application Form) and a pro forma invoice for the evaluation fee, providing the following information:
Complete the self-assessment tool (available HERE) and qualitative application form within the specified timeframe and pay the evaluation fee of 600 EUR (ex. VAT).
Send the complete application materials to the ENoLL Office at enollnetwork@enoll.org including:
Evaluation period – your membership application is assessed by three independent Living Lab experts. During this period, we may contact you to request additional information or clarifications. The evaluation outcome will be determined based on the scores and feedback received from all three evaluators.
Formal approval of accepted members by the ENoLL General Assembly.
The ENoLL Office communicates the final evaluation outcomes. Each applicant receives an individual feedback report containing details about the evaluation outcome and evaluators’ comments on all six ‘Evaluation Chapters’. The evaluation report also provides recommendations for improvements that can support the applicant’s growth in the future.
Your organisation is recognized as a sustainable Living Lab, meeting the established criteria set by ENoLL. It has successfully demonstrated its value and is invited to become a full ENoLL member. The certification as an Adherent Member is valid for 3 years. The cost of the Adherent Member membership of ENoLL is 700 EUR (ex. VAT) per year (2100 EUR for three years).
Your organization is progressing toward becoming a sustainable Living Lab. While there is significant potential for full ENoLL membership, there are still areas that require improvement. The certification as an Accepted to Grow Member is valid for 1 year. At the end of this yearly membership period, the Accepted to Grow member is encouraged to be re-evaluated (via the same process as during the initial application) to assess its progress and make the final decision about its growth and ability to become an Adherent Member. The cost for this re-evaluation is 600 EUR (ex. VAT).
The certification as an Accepted to Grow Member obligates the member to mandatorily participate in the Virtual Learning Lab (VLL) course (at least one active team member, e.g., Living Lab manager). The cost of the Accepted to Grow member membership is €700 (ex. VAT) for a period of 1 year. This cost does not include the cost of participation in the Virtual Learning Lab course and the cost of re-evaluation.
If your application does not meet the acceptance criteria for “Adherent Member” or “Accepted to Grow Member”, it will be rejected. Reapplying can be done when the candidate fulfils the evaluators’ recommendations included in the feedback report and can prove its growth and sustainability in the re-evaluation. Re-application can be done via the same process as during the initial application.
Organizations accepted as new members are officially welcomed to the ENoLL network and can take advantage of the full plethora of benefits associated with ENoLL membership.
