From 2018 to 2021, the Relais d´sciences - Le Dôme association carried out a Living Lab initiative as part of the TETHYS energy and hydrogen transition research program. This approach aimed to produce mediation materials with the population, then use scenarios and prototypes. By organizing participatory workshops, Le Dôme allowed audiences to be recognized in the posture of participants. This exploration allow experiment with the models and conceptual structuring of the Living Labs which are part of the implementation of “user-driven projects” such as the acceptance of the diversity of stakeholders, the development of the path of innovation and the Knowledge - Social - Buisness model to transpose the impact of such a project. It also introduces reflections on the participations scale motivating engagement in such an approach. At last, it suggests change in the model of cultural action within scientific culture centers in favor of popular innovation.
