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.

Background

Digital twins have the potential to revolutionize the way cities are designed, built, and managed. Still, they also have the potential to cause social, ethical, and privacy concerns if not implemented with careful consideration of the local communities.

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.  

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?

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.

This event will bring together interested stakeholders from mobile network operators, alternative operators, equipment manufacturers and public authorities, to share ideas and insights on ways to achieve Europe's Digital Decade targets for 2030.
