Rijkswaterstaat WINN Rijkswaterstaat (RWS, part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment) is responsible for the management and implementation of the Dutch road and water infrastructure.
It aims at providing an innovative environment where knowledge is pooled, new ideas are generated and a legal framework for the free flow of information is created.
it can only create an adequate environment with supporting instruments. Beyond that, collaborative innovation requires a change in the mindset of the people within the organizations.
The EIT ICT Labs are an attempt to create an environment of open innovation, but the people therein still appear to be need in of adapting to the new notion of sharing results.

Living labs are innovation environments that provide full-scale test-bed possibilities for inventing, prototyping, interaactiv testing and marketing of (new) mobile technology applications (Schumacher and Niitamo, 2008;
Contrary to other test platforms, living labs provide a more natural testing environment and strongly encouurag continuous and meaningful interaction betwwee developers/suppliers and users.
In this respect, the blueprint of a new interdiscciplinar approach for correlating Qoe to Qos parameters in a living lab environment is expanded upon in this paper.
it covered a wireless environment offering various applications to a large panel of test users via different platforms (e g. personal digital assisstan (PDA), laptop etc.).
i e. the identification of mobile opportunnities started with a wide scan of mobile applicattion that are possibly of interest for a wireless city environment.
The first consisted of members of the i-City panel, all familiar with advanced mobile applications and their use in a city environment.
we developed a five-step interdiscipplinar approach for linking Qoe to Qos parameters in living lab environments.
These tests were performed in an indooo environment at four different locations with a different signal strength at each location.
new applications that are tested in the natural environment would therefore only be an additional layer on top of the‘domesticated'netwoork and devices.

These included the continuing adaptation of FTA to the changing economic and policy environment. This is instanced by the recent reframing of FTA from contributing to evidence-based policy towards a greater emphasis on the construction, analysis and interpretation of narratives.
A tighter embedding of FTA in support of decision-making is needed in the context of a fast-changing, turbulent and complex environment.

The reasons are manifold relating to the need for an even tighter embedding of FTA in policy-making in a fast-changing complex environment as well as to internal drivers for novel forms of future intelligence to support coordinated and coherent decisions within and across organisations.
