VITLAB is an open virtual space dedicated to exchange of information, practices and experiences, promoting active and open collaboration. Therefore, the e-Resater Knowledge Network and the broad community have been invited to participate providing their contribution for raising awareness / giving visibility about initiatives in the field of e-health and e-inclusion (local, regional, national, at the SUDOE level or even beyond the SUDOE space).
Added value:
- Transpose the e-Resater Quadruple Helix of Innovation to a Co-Working Virtual Environment based on Open Innovation Processes, Information, Tools and Opportunities to bridge the gap decreasing distance and encouraging collaboration;
- Strengthening the e-Resater Knowledge Network encouraging a genuine Open-Innovation and Collaborative ecosystem;
- Flexible Guiding Methodology allowing an Horizontal management by the different partners and e-Resater InnoHub's and services customization (network, content, and resources are continuously changing and improving, given the opportunity for reflecting the growth of local ecosystems and the services offered by each InnoHub and by the network itself);
In short, create value in terms of innovation in products and services, Methodological Innovation, Transfer of Innovation and know-how, Organizational Innovation, Social Innovation.

Synergies across Networks, Projects and Initiatives
Collaborative alliances have been established to boost / intensify the Activity of the e-Resater Network (at a regional, national, SUDOE and European level) and the link with the e-Resater stakeholders, ensuring a delocalized planning and cooperation, supported by a consolidated methodological framework and an ecosystem, that is being at the same time reinforced with this strategic planning.
In this sense have been developed and planned research activities among other initiatives based on the collaboration and coordination with stakeholders, supported and facilitated by VITLAB.
