Background

The European Urban Initiative (EUI) is a key EU funding mechanism supporting sustainable and innovative urban development: Funded by the EU Regional Development Fund, this initiative provides financial means to European cities of all sizes aiming to drive urban innovation through local pilot projects. In particular, the EUI Innovative Actions (EUI-IA) regularly launches calls to fund projects from cities aiming to test new and scalable solutions to key urban challenges. 

At an upcoming Joint Stakeholder Forum Meeting, the communities of the European Data Space for Smart Communities (DS4SSCC) and the Local Digital Twins for Smart and Sustainable Communities (LDT4SSC) project come together to exchange insights, collaborate, and drive innovation.

Following the success of the first three rounds, the 4th Call for pilots of the European Data Space for Smart Communities (DS4SSCC) will open on 1st of April! The 4th round of pilots focuses on projects that build on previous pilots, adapting proven approaches to local conditions and exploring new opportunities to increase impact across different contexts.

Background

Cities and regions across Europe lead the way in the innovative and responsible use of AI, from assistants for city staff to interactive chatbots for residents and more. When assessing the systems’ impacts on local communities, they are facing complex legal requirements at the EU level: As the EU AI Act does not distinguish between public and private AI users but rather uses a risk-based approach to classify AI systems, cities face important compliance duties, particularly for high-risk use cases.

This meeting is dedicated to the interim review of MIMs Plus Version 9. 

We kindly invite you to the online Semester closing event of the Living-in.EU Technical Working Group. As every year, this marks the validation of the MIMs Plus Version 9 for publishing by the Working Group. 

Between 28 September and 2 October 2026, Sofia, Bulgaria will be the meeting point for researchers, innovators and urban planners to discuss the latest advances in geospatial data and 3D modelling, as it will host three major events - 3D GeoInfo | SDSC | LADM & 3D LA.

How can cities learn from what goes wrong in digital and sustainability transitions?

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), a partner of Living-in.EU movement is organising an interactive session in Ljubljana dedicated to honest reflection and peer exchange on the risks and challenges of urban innovation.
