Second cluster meeting for Smart communities projects in the EU, June 6
The "second cluster meeting for smart communities projects in the EU" aims to build on the first cluster meeting that took place in June 2022 and further promote and revisit the existing cooperation between relevant smart communities projects funded by the EU and relevant EU initiatives across sectors.
This meeting represents an opportunity for projects and initiatives to look for synergies and cooperation to further advance on the road to data sharing and data services to build the smart cities and communities of the future. The European Commission is taking the initiative to invite relevant and interested project leaders to have a dialogue on:
Taking stock and re-visit synergies and links between websites and interactive platforms that are either specifically targeted to or have a strong component on the digital transformation at local or regional level.
Update on collective EU efforts on interoperability and standardisation, with a focus on MIMs+.
Sharing of data and data sets to build up the Data Space for Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities.
DS4SSCC project coordinator Sophie Meszaros will share an update on the coordination actions with relevant EU initiatives like Living in EU and digiNEB, gathering feedback on the most widely used data sets and the main lessons in data sharing.
