SUMMARY:Future of Standards – User Research: Celebrating World Standards Day
DESCRIPTION:What is a standard? Are they really useful? Where can I find them? \nIf you have ever asked any of these questions in your daily job\, then this Show & Tell session is the one for you. \nThere are more than 96\,000 standards available (source: British Standards Online). They cover almost all business fields and work areas. Some of them are compulsory and others aren’t. Some are for free while other are more difficult to find. From our research we have found that many people know they are important but are not really sure how to use them. \nThe session is organised by Connected Places Catapult\, a core partner of Open & Agile Smart Cities.

SUMMARY:Context Broker Webinar 4: Set-up your own compliant Context Broker based on the NGSI-LD specifications
DESCRIPTION:Agenda of the training \n\nWhat is Context Data and its main benefits\nUnderstanding the NGSI-LD Specifications\nQ&A\n\nPlease Register here.     \n(the same webinar will also be held on 18th March 2020\, 15:00 – 16:00. Please register through the same link.) \n  \nLearn how to integrate near real-time data through CEF Context Broker trainings\n \nThe European Commission understands that making sense of data and connecting the dots is not easy. More so since each European city operates in a unique context\, gathering data from different sources\, in different ways. \nThe Connecting Europe Facility offers the Context Broker building block\, which centralises\, contextualises and gives meaning to collected data. This enables people like you\, from the public administration or private sector\, to access data that is already filtered\, organised and labeled so that you could leverage on it and create smart applications. Furthermore\, the Context Broker is built on common European standards making it interoperable and sustainable. \nIf you want to extend your know-how on how you can manage your context information\, join our set of trainings and learn how to integrate the Context Broker services and knowledge into your IT department. \nRegister now for the upcoming webinars! \nContext Broker. Empowering smart innovation.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Upcoming Funding Opportunities for Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION:OASC and the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) are organising a joint webinar to give an overview of the opportunities for European cities & communities to implement so-called digital Building Blocks. The webinar\, which takes place on 5 July 2019\, will particularly focus on the Context Broker and Big Data Test Infrastructure Building Blocks. \nIn a dedicated webinar for the members of Open & Agile Smart Cities\, participants will get an overview of the CEF Digital Building Blocks and how cities can use the building blocks to deliver improved public services\, to manage data more efficiently\, and to support policy-making through better data. A particular focus will be the upcoming funding opportunities to implement two of the CEF Building Blocks. \n  \nPlease register here. \n  \n \nThe CEF Context Broker is compatible with OASC Minimal Interoperability Mechanism 1 “Context Information Management”. \nThe CEF Context Broker enables organisations (including but not limited to public administrations) to manage and share data in real-time describing “what is currently happening” within their organisations\, in the real world they manage or where they run their daily business processes. Thus\, for example\, Smart Cities can share information about what is happening in streets (e.g.\, traffic status\, quality of air data\, available parking slots\, location).  Similarly\, a packet delivery service company may share data about orders (e.g.\, current location and expected delivery time). This information describing what is currently happening is referred as “context information”. \nThe CEF Context Broker provides the FIWARE NGSI API\, which is a RESTful API enabling applications to provide updates and get access to context information. \nFor more information visit the CEF website. \n  \nCEF Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI) provides a set of data and analytics services from infrastructure to tools and advisory\, allowing European organisations to experiment with Big Data technologies and move towards a data-driven policy making. \nBDTI offers tools and technologies to support the different elements of data processing\, from data collection to data ingestion and transformation for processing\, analysis\, exploration and visualisation. These can be reused on a pick-and-choose basis through ready-to-use environment templates. \nFor more information visit the CEF website

SUMMARY:Webinar: Digital Building Blocks for Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION:Dare to rethink your city. Be part of a Smarter Europe. \nPlease register here. \nToday\, we purchase our groceries\, book the next gym class or order a shared car service via a few swipes and taps on our phones. \nWe are increasingly more loyal to and fond of companies that enable these simple\, direct contact points. Yet\, our interactions with governments are in most cases still burdensome\, time-consuming and bureaucratic. \nGovernments\, cities and municipalities can’t stay behind this digital transformation that seamlessly connects citizens and businesses. European public administrations are striving to build Smart Cities to create smarter connections between citizens\, businesses and governments. \nThe European cities Paris\, Amsterdam and Barcelona have been named among the top 10 Smart Cities worldwide. They are transforming their urban environments through technology by using data to connect\, digitalise and make their cities future proof. \nThe European Union can help you transform your city too! \nThe European Commission\, through the CEF Digital programme\, offers eight digital services that can support your digital transformation to a smarter city.\nEvery service is free of charge\, cross-border\, open-source and standard compliant and tested. These services enable smart interactions between citizens\, businesses and public administrations.
