City officers and experts

Smart Communities Network
The Smart Communities Network is an EU wide community of organisations representing cities and municipalities in 27 EU Member States, which can support local communities in their early stages of digital transformation.
Knowledge Base
The Knowledge Base is a repository of training and capacity-building materials, to guide your daily work in navigating digitalisation.
Catalogue of Tools
Explore a comprehensive collection of tools to support EU communities in their digitalisation journey, such as LORDIMAS to self-assess digital maturity, the Local Digital Twin Toolbox (upcoming), procurement templates, or the MIMs Plus.
To ensure that as many cities and communities as possible can take advantage of Local Digital Twins and other digital techonologies, and to foster a fair and innovative European digital twin market, ensuring spaces for working together, sharing knowledge and best practices is essential.

A collaborative approach
Sharing knowledge and best practices is crucial for driving innovation and ensuring the success of digital transformation across the EU. By learning from each other's experiences, cities can avoid common pitfalls, accelerate their digital initiatives, and create more effective and sustainable solutions.
