Formed in November 2006 under the guidance of the Finnish European Presidency, ENoLL is composed of a variety of stakeholders, including municipalities and research institutes, businesses, and users.[34] Its primary role is to support the collaboration among living labs across Europe and includes many living labs focused on user-driven innovation across sectors.\n\nENoLL focuses on facilitating knowledge exchange, joint actions and project partnerships among its historically labelled +/- 500 members, influencing EU policies, promoting living labs and enabling their implementation worldwide. ENoLL serves as a platform for linking living labs around the globe, which enables knowledge sharing and collaborative learning among diverse cultural environments.[34] Membership to the platform is open to organizations worldwide, and ENoLL has expanded beyond Europe to include global members. ENoLL follows an application and accreditation process, where aspiring living labs must demonstrate adherence to core principles of user-centered, open innovation and real-life experimentation. Successful applicants are officially recognized as accredited living labs and become part of the ENoLL network {{W|Living lab#European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL)}}\n\n* [https://enoll.org/ European Network of Living Labs]\n\n== Sharing ideas and actions ==\n\n<div class=\"grid\">\n\n{{Video\n| video = 2r444-7kVs0\n| title = CTV - Introduction to the Citizens Foundation\n| authors = CitizensFNDN\n| date = 2019-09-12\n}}\n\n{{Video\n| video = BysTP6oHQRI\n| title = Halina Ward on 30th anniversary of the Environment Foundation/FDSD\n| authors = FDSD\n| date = 2013-12-02\n}}\n\n</div>\n\n* [https://citizens.is/ Citizens Foundation], connecting government and citizens, ''added 14:20, 19 December 2020 (UTC)'', ''see also'': [[Iceland#.E2.99.A5 Community involvement|Iceland]]\n* [https://www.fdsd.org/ideas/manifesto-for-democracy-and-sustainability/ Manifesto for Democracy and Sustainability]\n\n== Software ==\n\n{{Wikipedia excerpt|Pol.is}}\n\n* [https://pol.is/home Polis], \"real-time system for gathering, analyzing and understanding what large groups of people think in their own words, enabled by advanced statistics and machine learning\", ''added 10:41, 8 February 2022 (UTC)''\n* Ethical Alternatives & Resources from [https://ethical.net/resources/ ethical.net], ''added 10:41, 8 February 2022 (UTC)''\n* [https://promisetracker.org/ Promise Tracker], Data collection for civic action.
