Join us for the Launch of the European Semiconductor Regions Alliance!
The European Committee of the Regions together with the Free State of Saxony will launch the European Semiconductor Regions Alliance (ESRA) on 7 September.
ESRA has been initiated by Saxony, whose Minister for Regional Development, is also the rapporteur of the European Committee of the Regions on the EU Chips Act.
CommuniCity Open Calls offer 100 pilot grants to companies and associations to co-create innovative solutions addressing city and community needs using AI and other emerging technologies. The first round is based on needs identified in Amsterdam, Helsinki, and Porto, while the second and third rounds expand to the seven and all EU cities, respectively. The session will present the results of the first round of pilots, as well as the topics of the call for the second round, and will identify needs for the third round.
European societies are changing, impacting all aspects of urban planning and governance. OASC and URBANAGE will present examples (e.g. Minimal Interoperable Mechanisms, digital twins, data spaces and AI) of how data governance and technology can accelerate collaboration and digital transformation and help create digital urban ecosystems, having a sustainable impact on cities. This workshop aims to foster data sharing, scaling of solutions, interoperability and collaboration.
LORDIMAS is a new, free interactive online tool, created in cooperation with Living-in.EU, aimed at helping LRAs understand where they are in their digital transformation journey and compare themselves with peers. Its launch on 2 October will be accompanied by a number of events, providing an opportunity to test its features and get acquainted with it. The CoR's LORDIMAS ambassador will present the innovative tool and give first-hand feedback on its use.
Living-in.EU is the digital transformation movement of EU cities, regions and Member States. If you are a decision-maker at local, regional or national level tasked with turning cities and communities into smart and sustainable places where people enjoy living and working, then you should join Living-in.EU now! Living-in.EU is gaining momentum as an increasing number of cities turn to technology to solve the growing range of interconnected challenges: mobility, energy, the economy.
Living-in.EU will be present at the #EURegionsWeek 2023 and will organise a political lab session on "How cross-border regions and cities will accelerate the Digital Decade".
The goal of the session is to imagine a Europe without borders in which daily life of citizens is supported by seamless digital services and Local Digital Twins will enable cross-border interoperable infrastructure. But what are the challenges that we face? And what solutions are there?
The DT4REGIONS Final Conference will be held in Brussels and online on 21-22 June 2023. The event will be held at Emilia-Romagna Region - Delegation to the EU (Rue Montoyer, 21).
The main objective of the event is to showcase the work done by the DT4REGIONS project over the last two years. The event will be an occasion to reinforce the DT4REGIONS community and to involve regions, cities and communities from across Europe, encouraging all of them to share their challenges and look for common solutions on the DT4REGIONS platform.
