Roundtables on Procurement Clauses of AI

 

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.

Digital Agenda:instruments to accelerate digital transformation at local and regional level

 

The next Living-in.EU signatory event will focus on local and regional digital agendas. Local and regional digital agendas are key instruments for accelerating the digital transformation of cities and communities. Strategies at the local and regional level need to be complementary and mutually-reinforcing.  

Citizen Science: New ways to engage people for more liveable cities

Join us to celebrate the completion of the CitiMeasure project! For the past two years, our mission has been to engage citizen science practitioners in developing tools and instruments for more liveable cities.

As we look back on past achievements, we will also discuss what the future holds for citizen science.

What does it take to make it more mainstream? How do we ensure that citizen science projects are accessible to all? And why is citizen participation so crucial for shaping the cities of tomorrow?

Launch of the CitiMeasure Behaviour & Policy and Digital Inclusion e-guidelines

CitiMeasure aims to engage people to create sustainable, inclusive, and smart cities.

But there are still many barriers for the use of citizen science data. Policymakers can be reluctant to make citizen science an integral part of their work, and diverging digital skills across the population make inclusive citizen involvement more difficult.

Our CitiMeasure working group members – more than 40 volunteers – spent the past two years working on behaviour and policy change as well as digital inclusion.
