By 2050\, nearly 70% of the global population will be living in cities\, up from 50% today. As city populations grow\, the demand for services but also pressure on resources is increasing. This demand has a major impact on energy\, water\, waste\, mobility and any other service that is essential to ensure a city’s prosperity and sustainability. A coordinated and synergistic approach is needed to maximise the impact of climate-neutral and sustainable smart cities efforts and allow the several technological and policy-related challenges to be properly addressed. \nThe Climate-neutral and Sustainable Smart Cities Horizon Europe webinar is gathering top experts from the European Commission\, industry and academia to present and discuss how energy-efficient technologies\, mechanisms\, and policies must be put in place at several levels to ensure green digital transformation and the recovery of our society and economy. \nJoin the OASC Chair of the Board of Directors\, Martin Brynskov\, at the webinar\, when relevant Horizon Europe initiatives will be presented. \nRegister here.

How to achieve maximum safety on the streets? Can education help with this\, together with the support of modern technologies?  What is the role of residents in building security in their own city? The Norwegian project “Vision Zero”\, i.e. an effective strategy to reduce the number of accidents in road traffic\, can be a model to follow. Not a single child died on Norwegian roads in 2019. This is the result of long-term\, thoughtful and interdisciplinary work. Pedestrian safety\, especially for the youngest traffic participants\, is the theme of the Vienna project “School Streets” project\, which allows students to safely use public space in the school environment\, integrating by walking or commuting to school by bike or scooter and learning healthy and ecological forms of mobility.

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.

As focus shifts to finding solutions to climate issues\, technological advancements and innovation present a promising way forward. \nThe Internet of Things\, for example\, which Boston Consulting Group estimates will boom into an $267 billion dollar industry by 2020\, promises to facilitate great leaps in our efforts to transform our places and spaces\, from homes and offices to entire cities\, into sustainable environments. \nIf IoT technologies build on not only established technology\, but also new capabilities in the backend\, such as artificial intelligence\, deep semantic interoperability and novel contractual arrangements like Blockchains\, they will undoubtedly bring fundamental change to all sectors of activity\, improving the way we live and work. \nIn other words\, IoT is likely to be an essential element of the Next Generation Internet\, setting the groundwork for systems and devices of the future. \nMore info on the webpage of the event.

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.
