The Telecom Infra Project (TIP) has developed a playbook addressing the challenges of 5G network deployment in urban environments. While most European cities already have extensive 5G coverage through existing macrocell towers, growing data demand is straining current infrastructure. The use of mmWave 5G, which could greatly expand capacity, is often impractical with traditional macrocells, making network densification essential.

The Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) network defines Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs) as a set of essential, lightweight enablers that ensure a minimal yet sufficient level of interoperability between data, systems, and services within the context of smart city solutions. A MIM offers practical and easy-to-use approaches, encompassing both technical and non-technical solutions, to facilitate seamless collaboration and integration across cities and platforms.

Under the framework of the PoliVisu project, the consortium developed a MOOC hosted on The Open University – OpenLearn Create platform.

Are you ready to unlock the full potential of Living Labs and collaborative innovation?
Join Mastering Living Labs and Collaborative Innovation, a training programme organised within the VITALISE project, for an immersive journey through eight comprehensive webinars designed to transform your approach to innovation.

Throughout this webinar series, you will gain the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to excel in the evolving fields of innovation management and collaborative research.

Organised by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), this course introduces the fundamentals of Digital Twins and explains how they represent an integrated concept for product-related data. The concept of digital twins responds to the increasing digitalisation of product development, production, and the products themselves.

Delivered by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), core partner of CIDAI, this masterclass provides an accessible yet in-depth overview of deep learning techniques, aimed at participants with a basic understanding of artificial intelligence who wish to grasp the nature, functioning, and practical aspects of deep learning through three parts: a brief historical overview, an introduction to feedforward neural networks, and practical advice.

This session, delivered by SAP (a core partner of CIDAI), explores how organisations can identify and leverage innovation opportunities through data-driven approaches. 

Agenda:

LEAD is launching its shiny new Massive Open Online Course, open to all those interested, with the goal to “Unlocking the potential of Digital Twins for sustainable on-demand urban logistics”.

This presentation by Dr Francesca Spagnoli, Head of Capacity Building & Research at ENoLL, was delivered as part of the ALL-Ready “Understanding Living Lab Concepts and Co-creation" course.

Living Labs represent a dynamic and user-centered approach to innovation, combining real-life and simulated environments to promote co-creation and collaboration. These ecosystems bring together multiple stakeholders, including academia, industry, the public sector, and civil society, to address complex challenges. By employing iterative processes and systematic methodologies, Living Labs enable the design, testing, and evaluation of innovative solutions tailored to user needs and specific contexts.
