As urbanization accelerates\, the challenge lies in making cities more resilient\, and sustainable\, while improving the quality of life for all residents. The United Nations’ World Cities Day emphasizes the importance of innovative solutions to address urban challenges\, and this year the focus is on people-centred smart cities showing how data\, technology\, and AI can enhance urban living\, support recovery from current challenges\, and advance initiatives that put people at the centre. \nTechnological innovation\, guided by international standards\, plays a crucial role in enabling smart and sustainable cities. From smart grids that ensure reliable and efficient energy distribution\, to IoT-enabled systems that enhance service delivery and urban mobility\, standards create the foundation for interoperability\, safety\, and trust. IEC and ISO International Standards in particular help integrate diverse technologies\, support scalable solutions\, and foster innovation that directly contributes to SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. \nThe challenge is to use these standards to design our cities around the needs of their diverse communities and ensure the best possible quality of life for everyone\, both for those alive today and for future generations. And how the use of standards-based innovative technologies such as digital twins and the CitiVerse can support participatory decision making\, where ordinary people can have an active role in ensuring that their cities work for them. \nThis IEC Academy webinar will showcase how international standards are shaping the future of urban living. Experts will highlight practical applications in energy\, resource management and participatory planning\, while sharing global case studies that illustrate successful strategies. They will also give an update on the Technology Report on Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) that the IEC System Committee Smart Cities has developed. Participants will gain insights into how standards drive collaboration\, innovation\, and efficiency\, empowering policymakers\, city planners\, and industry stakeholders to build cities around the needs of their residents\, that are not only smarter\, but also more sustainable\, inclusive and people-centred. \n \n REGISTER HERE URL:https://oascities.org/event/iec-webinar-building-people-centred-cities-with-standards-online-30-october-2025/ LOCATION:online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oascities.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/zoom_registration_banner_2025.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20251009T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20251009T110000 DTSTAMP:20250923T114447Z CREATED:20250923T114203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250923T114447Z UID:15613-1760004000-1760007600@oascities.org SUMMARY:OASC Interoperability Policy Navigation Group Info Session – Online\, 9 October 2025 DESCRIPTION:In response to member feedback on the complex\, non-technical interoperability policy challenges that impact digital transformation\, we are pleased to announce the launching of the OASC Interoperability Policy Navigation Group (IPoNG).

Increasingly they are following a district-focused approach to enable solutions to be tailored to the specific characteristics of each local area.  \nWhile the International Energy Agency is promoting the term Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) and there is an extensive program of work under that name promoted by the European Commission\, there are many different ways that cities refer to the approach they are taking. \nThe workshop will feed into a Technology Report that the IEC System Committee Smart Cities is developing to describe the key characteristics of this approach so as to provide a common basis for cities to collaborate and learn from each other. In addition\, by raising the profile of this increasingly common approach by cities to tackle the climate crisis\, this will also alert specialist technical standards committees to the importance of this topic and support an ongoing collaborative approach to delivering the standards needed.  \nWe invite you to join us in fostering collaborative work on global standardization\, reflecting the experience and “first” lessons learned from existing projects. During the two days\, you will hear from PED projects from around the world and some key standards committees\, help identify the key characteristics of PEDs and use this to help develop a clear definition of the topic. You will also help us identify the key challenges cities face in implementing PEDs and what standards exist or could be developed to help. \nThe workshop will be of value to: \n\nParticipants in existing PED projects and those considering the development of such projects\nSolution providers that could provide products and services to help\nStandards development committees that are working in areas of relevance to PEDs\n\n \n FIND THE AGENDA AND REGISTRATION HERE URL:https://oascities.org/event/the-role-of-positive-energy-districts-in-city-transformation-online-10-11-june-2025/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oascities.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/ped_website_0.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20250428T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20250428T123000 DTSTAMP:20250409T122436Z CREATED:20250409T122159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250409T122436Z UID:14995-1745830800-1745843400@oascities.org SUMMARY:Apply AI Strategy - Technical Workshop on Environment and Sustainability – Online\, 28 April 2025 DESCRIPTION:An online workshop to investigate potential application areas of AI for Environment & Sustainability.

Joining info webinars is not a requirement to participate in SPACE4Cities Call for Tenders\, but by joining\, Suppliers can interact with the project consortium\, anticipate procurers’ needs\, and to prepare for the tender submission \nTo learn more\, look up our resources for Suppliers\, such as recordings of previous Open Market Consultation webinars\, challenge descriptions\, open data sources and Q & A’s published on the website.  \n \n REGISTER HERE URL:https://oascities.org/event/info-webinar-on-space4cities-e2-87m-call-for-tenders-2-26-february-2025-online/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://oascities.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/space4citiesweb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20250114T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20250114T133000 DTSTAMP:20241216T132947Z CREATED:20241213T100012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241216T132947Z UID:14630-1736856000-1736861400@oascities.org SUMMARY:OASC Knowledge Exchange on Open Data Value Creation DESCRIPTION:About OASC Knowledge Exchange \nKnowledge exchange events are aimed at all members of the OASC community. They provide a peer-to-peer learning opportunity by exchanging successful use cases and best practices on various relevant digitisation topics. \nThe events are moderated online roundtable discussions that bring together practitioners across our entire network to share their experiences on specific digitisation topics. They also offer opportunities to ask questions and obtain advice to help you on your journey. \nWhether you are a thought leader and front-runner or just curious about how to put things into practice in your community\, the OASC knowledge exchange allows you to share your knowledge with others\, obtain feedback or learn from your peers. \nAbout the eventOur second knowledge exchange will focus on open data value creation. \nThe sharing and use of open data have become integral to a city’s data strategy over the past decade. Driven initially by regulatory compliance to open up certain data sets\, cities are increasingly operating open data platforms where they are curating and making a growing number of data sets available related to their municipalities. Data may come from internal data sources and public sector partners such as local transportation service providers\, emergency services and law enforcement. \nWhile the availability of open data generally increases\, the same cannot be said for its utility. Some data sets are more often used or valuable than others. This can be due to different reasons\, such as the level of interest of internal and external stakeholders in particular data or the value potential of such data to contribute to novel insights or services in response to market needs. It can also be down to data quality and how regularly up-to-date data is made available. Publishing data on its own is often not sufficient but requires a city to employ suitable engagement strategies to promote the use of such data. \nThis session will look at practical examples from three cities in our OASC network –  namely Aarhus (Denmark)\, Ghent (Belgium) and Södertälje (Sweden) – which have significant experiences creating a thriving open data ecosystem. The cities will discuss case studies and strategies for successfully leveraging data to create value for their communities. Questions to be explored include the following:  \n\nWhat are the vital data sets/sources and high-value applications?\n\n \n\nWhich ones are likely replicable across cities elsewhere or relatively unique to a city/region?\n\n\n \n\nWhat are lessons learnt about how to engage an ecosystem of third parties to create value or encourage third parties to contribute data to benefit the city?\n\n\n \n\nWhat are the failures and pitfalls when working with open data? What looked to be a good idea but turned out to be a bad one\, and why or what to avoid doing when working with open data use cases?\n\n\n \n\nBeyond open data- use cases where shared data is more appropriate to create value than just open data\n\nThe detailed agenda for the session is presented below. \n\n“Welcome\, and introductions to the topic and panel speakers”\, Alex Gluhak\, OASC – 10mins\nDigital Twin Case studies – 1 hr– Case Study 1 – Bo Fristed\, City of Aarhus – 15 mins– Case Study 2 – Andreas Sundberg\, City of Södertälje – 15 mins– Case Study 3 – Thimo Thoeye\, City of Ghent– 15 mins\nRound table discussion\, moderated by Alex Gluhak\, OASC (30 mins)\nWrap-up (5 mins)\n\n\n \n REGISTER HERE URL:https://oascities.org/event/oasc-knowledge-exchange-on-open-data-value-creation/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
