Ingrid Mulder, W Bohle, Boshomane, CF Morris, Hugo A. Tempelman, Daan Velthausz · 2008

Summary. Living Labs, a European model for community-driven innovation, can accelerate rural development in South Africa.

They assess how European best practices and lessons learned from Living Lab networks can speed innovation adoption in South African communities.
