FinEst Centre for Smart Cities has started the 4th round of the Smart City Challenge and is inviting all TalTech researchers and developers to solve complex urban challenges to make cities better living environments. This time we are investing 3 million euros to pilot and implement 3 new smart city solutions.
On April 17th, FinEst Centre is hosting an information session for researchers and developers. The goal is to provide them with a comprehensive understanding of the expectations and opportunities linked to participating in the Smart City Challenge. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to draw inspiration from past pilot projects.
Join us to discover why participating in the Smart City Challenge 2024 is a unique opportunity for you.
We will bring examples on how, as a researcher, you can contribute to developing innovative solutions to urban challenges, collaborate on interdisciplinary and international projects, and gain valuable experience shaping smart and sustainable cities.
Your involvement in the challenge opens doors to taking your research to the cities and making a real impact on urban development.
It is recommended to participate in the workshop in person, but virtual attendance is also possible. Virtual participants will receive a link a few days before the event.
Please register by April 10th.
