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.

The Urban Logistics Innovation Day, scheduled for September 26, 2023, in Brussels, is set to address the challenges of decarbonizing urban freight transport and promoting sustainable urban logistics. With the increasing demand for e-commerce and business activities in cities, finding innovative solutions is crucial to meet efficiency targets and customers' expectations.

This event will bring together interested stakeholders from mobile network operators, alternative operators, equipment manufacturers and public authorities, to share ideas and insights on ways to achieve Europe's Digital Decade targets for 2030.

Eurocities and ERRIN ICT Working group are co-organising an on-site meeting to introduce the Living-in.EU movement and its services to representatives of regional offices in Brussels.

This meeting will be held on Monday 15 May, 16:00-18:00 at ERRIN premises, 3 rue du Luxembourg (8th Floor). Presentations will be followed by a networking drink.
