FinEst Centre for Smart Cities is currently running its third Smart City Challenge and throughout September we are collecting modern problems from cities what need smart solutions.
All researchers and developers are invited to a workshop on October 18th, where cities will provide more detailed background on the submitted issues.
All collected challenges are now available on Smart City Challenge homepage and we encourages everyone to familiarize themselves with them in advance and find those that match their research area.
The aim of this workshop is to introduce gathered city challenges and engage in discussions with researchers and developers, encouraging brainstorming and proposing the most relevant solutions.
We are expecting municipalities that have presented their challenges, as well as researchers and developers who want to participate in developing novel practical smart city solutions.
Importantly, it’s possible to get acquainted with the collected city challenges before the workshop. All city challenges are shortly presented on the Smart City Challenge 2023 page and in details here.
In addition, we are delighted to have an inspirational speaker Tim Asperges from the City of Leuven, Belgium, who will share valuable insights into city planning challenges, the complexity of mobility and real-world examples of bold solutions.
