Through the adaptation of a service already operational in Germany and other European Countries, originally thought for the animation of democratic discussions and participative public opinion formation at local and regional level, we will establish a cost effective solution for the networking and interaction of Living Lab trials participants during the development and implementation of innovative projects. More specifically, TELL ME objectives are:

1.	To assess the economic and commercial viability of the proposed service on a European scale, by means of an in depth costs/benefits analysis of the service implementation, with specific (but not exclusive) regard to e-Government, e-Participation and e-Services;
2.	To investigate the administrative viability of the proposed service, on a European scale;
3.	To identify the conditions for future, pan-European deployment of the service under a juridical and a financial perspective.

The project is expected to involve:

-

Living Lab ‘Owners’ (who are the key target for market validation, as it is their staff who will validate the services from the technical and administrative point of view and assess their viability and usability);

-

Living Lab ‘Members’ (Public Administrations, Citizens, Enterprises, Non Profit Organisations, who are the ultimate beneficiaries of these services), mostly operating in the same territorial areas, but also coming from different cities/countries. After each trial/pilot, the results will be analysed with a view to mapping the most relevant application areas and to replicating the service in one or more additional Living Labs. This will help align the service to the national regulations (if any) and activate cross-fertilisation among the Living Labs (either internal or external to the consortium) through the exchange of best practices at European level.
