The ISCN sourced from its network a practical smart city challenge and 8 universities and their student courses from 5 countries and 3 continents responded with more than 40 ideas! The challenge revolved around conceptualizing data reuse to enhance insights stemming from citizen-reporting tools.

Democracy is under pressure, in municipalities and beyond. In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer we want to look at the status quo of digital citizen participation in (smart) cities. Join us as we get a first-hand update from Decidim, one of the plattforms and communities with the biggest legacy creating multi-faceted digital participation and decisionmaking by, from and for the people.

The cities of Basel, Freiburg and Mulhouse in the border triangle of Germany, France and Switzerland have come together in the project #connectedinEurope to work on a joint cross-border data exchange - the ‘Triregio Dataspace’.

Alba Iulia and Arnsberg are celebrating in 2024 the 50th anniversary of their municipal partnership. Through their tandem activities in #connectedinEurope they enhanced their mutual cooperations with a smart city lens, ultimately with the ambition for a joint project to link some of their open data to each other.

The final online workshop of the #connectedinEurope project took place in December. The participating municipalities exchanged views on possibilities for continuation and scaling, and explored further project threads. The #CIE cities will continue working together on the common-good-oriented development of smart cities and regions in the future.

In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer, Enoh Tabak and Sandra Schett from the International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) presented the outcomes of the #connectedinEurope project. Discover how peer-to-peer exchanges among 12 European cities have driven smart city development through collaborative efforts in areas such as digital twins, data spaces, and open data exchange.
