Closely related to the resonating innovation cycles, the European Universities Project E3 UDRES2 establishes I-Living-Labs for future universities and smart and sustainable regions. The “I” stands for inspiring, innovative, intercultural, international, interdisciplinary, intersectorial, inclusive and intense. The paper presents the methodology and experiences on running the first i-Living-Labs in an international setting, sharing resources, teachers and students among 6 different universities, and performing projects in areas from Circular Economy, Human Contribution to Artificial Intelligence, Wellbeing & Active Ageing. It introduces the structures of Living Labs, and Design Thinking, Co-creation, experimentation methodologies, the Agile process and experiences of running the first international i-Living-Labs. In these I-Living-Labs, various types of learners, ranging from students to external stakeholders and educational entrepreneurs, are challenged to co-ideate and co-create innovative smart and sustainable solutions to local challenges. They do this in international transdisciplinary teams, bringing international knowledge into their communities.
