The detailed event program is here

Synopsys 
It is known that, in the best-case scenario, Smart City should be realised as an interconnected system of systems integrating many data sources, silos, isolated automated systems, sensors, IoT and actuators deployed all over the city and sharing data sources across municipalities’ departments and city agencies and making daily life more productive. However in the real-world such scenario is still very rare especially in small and medium-sized cities still having a little number of data sources including databases and sensors and variety of fragmented technologies and solutions operating in silos.

Join us to explore and discuss how some pioneering cities across the Europe address these complex issues by implementing their Smart City and IoT projects and data-driven decision-making in daily work of their municipalities and utility providers improving the lives of citizens and creating smart sustainable ecosystems. We look for practical solutions and answers to existing problems!

Why could the workshop be interesting for you:

1. It presents the latest ongoing activities and practical achievements in several cities from different European countries sharing experiences and lessons to learn from municipalities and service providers.

2. Smart Urbana project municipalities from 4 countries will demonstrate novel their use cases supported by Smart City Monitor instances running in their cites.

3. Participants will receive an overview of latest international standards “Sustainable development of communities” supporting Smart Governance and Management by its developers from International Organization for Standardization - ISO Technical Committee 268.

4. Novel applications of Smart City Monitor will demonstrate its use for integrated holistic management of metropolitan areas and transparency of governance for citizens accordingly to the ISO standards as well as the rich set of options eliminating non-productive manual data processing tasks in municipalities.

5. Participants will discuss new Horizon 2020, Interreg, Structural funds and other innovative projects for 2018 meet in person, get ready to collaborate and share ideas for setting new project consortiums.
