Practical implications-University of Lorraine diversification strategy through the "Chaire REVES" supported by public and private partners. Social implications-At regional level, industrial-university-territorial partnerships could tackle both societal and economical issues "with", "for", and "by" citizens. Originality/value-Based on the Living Lab concept our case study shows a concrete regional university strategy involving: user-centric design, collaborative processes, citizens' workshops and new financial and organizational answers enabling collaboration between private companies and public institutions.
