The Resourceful Sharing - shared innovation and learning environments (Javist) project will strengthen business opportunities for start-ups, SMEs and leading companies in an ecosystem of services, products and technologies in shared physical and virtual innovation and learning environments. In the project, diverse and increasingly shared innovation and learning environments will be developed and evaluated. The co-creative consortium will promote the development of a sharing culture in the production and management of different innovation and learning environments, including the creation of synergies for continuous learning between different school levels. Synergies require new kinds of collaboration within the educational services ecosystem, enriching educational content, creating new digital-physical models of educational services, and producing pedagogical concepts that learn from each other. The content will also be replicated in the development of other sharing space solutions. The project works towards an increased understanding of what adds value to businesses and cities. It will be explored how non-standard working and learning environments can promote learning for different learners and new ways of thinking and working together. It will also develop ways to better measure the actual use of spaces. Measuring actual occupancy will increase the understanding of how to measure the effectiveness of shared innovation, learning and experimentation solutions, which will have a key impact on the kind of business that makes sense to develop in shared spaces. By optimising the use of space and creating effective processes for digital and physical space support services, it will be possible to retain the necessary number of quality teaching spaces for an increasing number of students. At the same time, models based on service path thinking will be built to serve external users of the facilities in an increasingly customer and user-oriented way, and to identify new user groups and new services to optimise the use and cost of the facilities. Companies developing learning and innovation environments have faced challenges in validating their solutions with ICT actors. Service and solution providers integrating physical and digital learning environments lack models and structures to enable an agile and focussed evaluation of innovation and learning environments. The large number of pilots and validation of their functionalities in the project will provide models for impact evaluation, which will be turn into concrete benefits for companies. The aim is that the models will continue to be used as part of stakeholders' own development and optimisation efforts. Measuring impact in pilot environments will be developed using an evidence-based approach based on a validation and evaluation framework, where also pedagogical, ecological, economic and social responsibility will play a key role. The components of the framework will be tested in rapid cycle pilots: platforms, facilities and practices will be set up, tested and evaluated in cycles, based on data and continuous improvement. Modular models will be developed to accelerate the deployment of different facilities and policies. The development of a modular, lean process model will be based on the dozens of pilots undertaken during the project's lifecycle. The modules do not replace business models, but instead, they support the companies in aligning and accelerating the deployment of business processes. Elements of responsibility and sustainability will be identified, which the sharing economy and smart use of resources will help to achieve.
