Webinar to discuss Solutions (digital and sustainable) for Cities of the Future and the role of the citizen.

TICE.PT joins several experts linked to cities and citizens for a virtual debate panel about smart cities and the needed human centric green and digital transition.

Are smarter cities, cities where people live better?

How can citizens contribute to a smarter city?

What kind of cities do we have today and what kind of cities will we have tomorrow?

The 13th ECON commission meeting will take place at the CoR on Friday 8 July 2022, from 11:30 to 18:00 (Brussels time).

The mid-term event of the DT4REGIONS Project "A Journey towards an EU Platform for AI and Big Data in Public Administration" will take place on 28 and 29 June 2022 in hybrid mode; speakers and partners will be present on-site in Barcelona, whereas registered participants will be able to participate online.

About this event

Join us for a day of engaging workshops and sessions on solutions, outcomes, and visions that the partner cities and universities have come across during the SCORE project.

This conference aims to bring together the SCORE and OASC community, as well as any other interested parties, in a hybrid event format in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and online worldwide.

This networking event is an opportunity to bring together various actors working to promote interoperability based on open standards, for better data sharing, and to protect citizens’ and public administrations’ data sovereignty, to raise awareness of these issues with the global community of cities, thereby uniting the supply side and to stimulate the demand side (industry and digital service providers) to respond accordingly.

In Espoo, we European cities will dream of what the city of the future will be like. We will act and share the best solutions to co-create a sustainable future. We will lead the fight against climate change. We will do all this together and be visionary. 

The World Urban Forum (WUF) is the premier global conference on sustainable urbanization. It was established in 2001 by the United Nations to examine one of the most pressing issues facing the world today: rapid urbanisation and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies. The first WUF was held in Nairobi, Kenya in 2002 and has been held around the world ever since.

Cities and regions increasingly represent testbeds for technological innovation and are adopting AI and digital solutions in an agile, efficient and citizen-centred manner. The development of European smart cities and regions of the future calls not just for an innovative usage of emerging technologies such as AI, but also for new, effective and inclusive forms of collaboration across stakeholders and across borders. 

How can experimenting using a "sandboxing" approach help contribute to the development of local data ecosystems, and address key urban challenges related to mobility, energy, and housing?

During this Policy Lab, we will present the key findings and recommendations from a large scale project focused on developing data ecosystems involving more nine European cities and regions.
