Explore the Interoperable Europe Academy Collection here. The Academy offers currently 34 e-learning courses, and 10 categories in its curriculum. It is aimed for Public sector officials, IT professionals, policy makers, and stakeholders involved in digital governance and public administration.

The academy offers online courses, webinars, workshops, and a repository of learning materials.

In the framework of Horizon Europe, the European Union Programme for Research and Innovation (2021-2027), the European Commission launched the Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’, aiming to establish 100 Living Labs and Lighthouses to drive the transition to healthy soils by 2030.  

Energy characterisation of existing buildings at multiple geographical levels (district, city, region) can be used to understand energy use trends.  Moreover, it can correlate the energy consumption to characteristics of the territory and identify specific locations where there are buildings with poor energy performance.

Since September 2022, European data spaces initiatives have been collaboratively defining the technical building blocks for data spaces across various domains. In partnership with the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC), this collaborative effort, has successfully identified and integrated common grounds for technical standards and software implementations presented during the event.

Data spaces create the conditions for a market among diverse participants interested in collaborating, by sharing and exchanging data. The European strategy for data1 aims to speed up the development of the European data ecosystem and economy to harness the societal value of data, ensuring Europe’s global competitiveness and data sovereignty. Through the Digital Europe Programme, the European Commission is investing in nine common European data spaces in strategic economic sectors and domains.

Exploiting smart cities with digital twins (SCDT) requires the integration of sensing and simulation across diverse infrastructure systems into community management. Community disaster management can provide a valuable foundation for SCDT development. The current work proposes and tests a conceptual model of a SCDT for disaster management and describes two threats to SCDT development that can be mitigated by focusing development on disaster management. Information loops, as opposed to individual components, are identified as a critical future focus of SCDT development.

This study summarises the work done over the course of this project and presents the main outcomes and findings. It aims to provide guidance and recommendations to public administrations developing and operating integrated public services on how to approach organisational and governance issues related to the development of these services. In order to support this objective, the study presents a theoretical understanding of organisational interoperability and integrated public service governance.

This interactive workshop will provide you with practical insights throughout stimulating discussions.

In Europe, 5G coverage is already extensive in urban areas, provided primarily from existing macrocell towers. Although the macrocell-based deployment of 5G services has provided some capacity relief to 4G networks, increasing urban mobile data demand is pushing against the capacity limits of the existing network infrastructure. In addition, the deployment of mmWave 5G services, which would add significant new capacity, is not practical using macrocells. The challenges for network design that are already evident in urban 4G deployments become dominant with the transition to 5G.
