Cities are data production hubs. People, businesses, universities, connected devices, sensors and objects produce, collect, and transmit an ever-growing amount of personal and non-personal data in cities. The added value of data for offering and developing quality public services is widely recognised, providing public authorities with valuable insights to improve public transport, make cities greener, tackle epidemics and develop more evidence-based policies.

Destination Earth initiative will be officially launched in an online public event on Wednesday, 30th of March from 12.45 to 16.00 CEST. The event will be streamed on YouTube. You can find the agenda, registration and the streaming link HERE.

DT4REGIONS and Living-in.EU initiatives are organising a joint workshop with the aim of sharing the results from the recently closed capacity building and stakeholder mapping survey and further scoping the needs of cities and regions in terms of trainings in the field of digital transformation.

Are you interested in testing the DUET Open Beta Digital Twin and sharing your feedback to support ongoing improvements to the platform?
