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

SUMMARY:OASC Conference – Tampere (FI)\, 22–23 January 2025
DESCRIPTION:AI can play a pivotal role in addressing various challenges that cities and communities face today. \nTogether with the City of Tampere in Finland\, we invite you to the OASC Artificial Intelligence for Smarter Communities? conference in January 2025. This conference dives into how AI can help create smarter\, more sustainable and resilient local & regional environments and highlights current AI developments in Tampere\, the new deputy coordinator of the OASC Council of Cities. \nThe Artificial Intelligence for Smarter Communities? conference is organised in Tampere\, one of the forerunners in the digital transformation. As digital innovations continue to reshape urban environments\, enormous opportunities and various challenges arise. The city of Tampere collaborates in extensive international networks with a human-centric perspective toward a city where smart technologies and AI will increasingly enable seamless interaction between the physical and virtual worlds\, adding value to citizens’ everyday lives. Tampere is collaborating closely together with businesses\, research organisations\, communities and the members of the OASC network. Such partnerships underline the importance of inclusive\, progressive and technology-driven urban development. \nArtificial intelligence\, alongside other emerging technologies\, has the potential to greatly enhance city planning and digital services. However\, this progress comes with its own set of challenges\, including questions around sustainability\, ethics and the allocation of limited resources. These complexities make AI a key theme of this year’s conference. We invite you to join us in Tampere for this forward-looking event\, where together we can shape the cities of tomorrow. \nJoin us at the Artificial Intelligence for Smarter Communities? conference\, where thought leaders and innovators collaborate to advance cutting-edge solutions for local & regional digital transformation. In the conference\, we will look into how regional and local authorities work with technology companies\, research institutions\, citizens and key stakeholders to advance the ethical use of AI and emerging technologies. \nThe first Conference day is the community day\, where we listen to your use cases of AI\, its successes and challenges. The second day brings the insights of additional experts in the field of AI. They will engage in foresight sessions with you and host deep-dives to show you the ins and outs of current and future AI projects\, the AI Act\, procurement\, AI ethics and more. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping the smart cities of the future! \n			\n				CONFERENCE PAGE
