OASC Summit 2024
Connecting local digital ecosystems through interoperability
The Open & Agile Smart Cities & Communities (OASC) network is proud to host its annual Summit on the 3rd and 4th of June 2024 in Rotterdam! This year’s theme, connecting local digital ecosystems through interoperability, highlights their commitment to support cities and local communities to collaborate on digital transformation via the fluent sharing of data in and between cities and local communities. Strategies, processes and technologies will be the main focus points. The main goal is to align as many cities as possible into that philosophy and concept and help cities to overcome the hurdles that block them from interoperability.
What to expect:
General Assembly - update version of the MIMs
Keynote speakers and demonstrations of practical use cases in the field of sustainable mobility, procurement strategies and health care
Interactive sessions where other tools such as a digital roadmap, digital assessment tool and much more will be discussed!
Endless networking opportunities!
Topics:
A dive into the global and European political landscape where legal frameworks and initiatives that shape the digital playing field are coined.
Dissection of the processes required at the local level to facilitate interoperability. It’s about a mindset, skills and transversal thinking that are essential for overcoming hurdles.
Explore the available technologies that can assist cities and local communities, regardless of their digital maturity, in advancing towards interoperability.
Highlight our Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs), as the minimal but sufficient ground for interoperability that cities, companies, researchers and governments can use when procuring and using digital tools and systems
Open Call for Pilots Launch (1st Round)
