Abstract
The Living Lab Quartier Innovant (Innovative Neighborhood) engages a diverse range of stakeholders, primarily community organization representatives and older adults, alongside researchers, with the primary goal of supporting the social inclusion of older adults within Côte-des-Neiges, a neighborhood in Montreal, Canada. This protocol paper aims to present the key characteristics and research agenda of the Quartier Innovant. It delineates its governance structure as well as its main research components, including a logic model and an evaluation matrix. By doing so, we strive to improve the field of Living Lab research by encouraging transparency, open criticism, and grounded methodological choices for enhanced conceptualization, operationalization, and evaluation of Living Labs.Keywords
