Funded under the Digital Europe Programme, the BDTI aims to foster the re-use of public sector data and information, by offering European public administrations the opportunity to test and experiment with a wide range of ready-to-use and source tools. The BDTI is open to all local, regional, and national European public administrations which, by participating in the BDTI, can have the opportunity to experiment with open-source technologies, free of charge, for a pilot period of six months.

All supporters and stakeholders are welcome to the next Living-in.EU Open Supporters' meeting, with presentations of cases already unfolding the foundations of a CitiVerse based on the Living-in.EU movement.

Draft Agenda

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 focus group is organised in the realm of the project called Preparatory actions of the AI-on-Demand Platform (Pre-PAI). It is an EU-founded project aimed at providing the blueprint for the further development, deployment, and operation of the European AI-on-demand platform (https://www.ai4europe.eu/).

Held in Barcelona since 2011, Smart City Expo World Congress is the international leading event for cities. Their mission is to empower cities and collectivize urban innovation across the globe. Through promoting social innovation and identifying collaboration opportunities, the event is dedicated to creating a better future for cities and their citizens. 

Living-in.EU will be present at the SCEWC 2023 with the following sessions:

The meeting invites all technical subgroup members of the Living-in.EU movement to join us online on the 24th of May from 1pm until 3pm (CET, Brussels Time). During this meeting, we will present the CitiVerse concept and call, with presentations of cases already unfolding the foundations of a CitiVerse based on the Living-in.EU movement.  The purpose of this meeting is to provide supporters with an understanding of the needs and requirements of signatories and how they can contribute to the development of CitiVerse. We look forward to seeing you online. 

DT4REGIONS and Living-in.eu initiatives are hosting a joint webinar on May 2, 2023, to explore the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Digital & Data Spaces for European cities and regions.

Local authorities are increasingly using AI technologies and algorithmic systems to operate their cities and provide services to citizens. With AI having a bigger impact on citizens’ lives, there is a growing need for instruments that can guarantee the use of AI in a responsible and secure manner, ensuring for example transparency about the decision-making processes and accountability.
