The Living-in.EU Catalogue of Tools is a core component of the broader Living-in.EU initiative aimed at fostering digital transformation in European cities, communities, and regions. Living-in.EU specifically focuses on producing, collecting, and publishing capacity-building and other tools relevant for signatories, supporters and the broader community. These tools are essential for supporting local authorities, policymakers, urban planners, community leaders, and other stakeholders in making informed decisions within their unique contexts.

This workshop is designed to offer a comprehensive insight into co-creation and experimentation within Living Lab environments, especially those focusing on digital solutions. Living Labs offer a unique ecosystem for innovation, where stakeholders collaborate to design, test, and refine digital solutions.
In an era of rapid urbanisation and technological progress, smart cities and communities are emerging as hubs for innovation and technology-enabled efficiency, where digital solutions benefit its inhabitants and businesses. However, the success of such transformation depends not only on cutting-edge technologies but also on the engagement and empowerment of relevant stakeholders through a blend of technical, green and soft skills.
Join on 11 October from 9:30 to 16:30 CEST for an exclusive opportunity to be part of the 5GSC Community Conference, hosted by the 5G for Smart Communities Support Platform in collaboration with the European Commission, DG CNECT.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing our world, which is proved by phenomenons like ChatGPT. The chances and risks of this technology are being highly discussed by the general public.
We would like to take up this ball and discuss with you the possibilities of AI in smart municipalities and regions. Our focus topic is: "AI and municipalities - simply intelligent."
CommuniCity Open Calls offer 100 pilot grants to companies and associations to co-create innovative solutions addressing city and community needs using AI and other emerging technologies. The first round is based on needs identified in Amsterdam, Helsinki, and Porto, while the second and third rounds expand to the seven and all EU cities, respectively. The session will present the results of the first round of pilots, as well as the topics of the call for the second round, and will identify needs for the third round.
European societies are changing, impacting all aspects of urban planning and governance. OASC and URBANAGE will present examples (e.g. Minimal Interoperable Mechanisms, digital twins, data spaces and AI) of how data governance and technology can accelerate collaboration and digital transformation and help create digital urban ecosystems, having a sustainable impact on cities. This workshop aims to foster data sharing, scaling of solutions, interoperability and collaboration.
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.
