Register now for our webinar ‘Smart Cities and digital twin technology: the case of Rotterdam’

Join us on 6 December with a real-world example from the city of Rotterdam

Mark your calendars for a new webinar ‘Smart Cities and digital twin technology: the case of Rotterdam’ hosted by data.europa academy on Friday, 6 December 2024, from 10:00 to 11:00 CET. This session aims to introduce participants to the innovative world of smart city strategies and digital twin technology, featuring a practical example from the city of Rotterdam. 

The European Union sees open data as a cornerstone for building smart cities that are transparent, participatory, and data driven. Digital twin technology, which relies on open data, acts as a virtual mirror of a city, integrating real-time data to support informed decision-making and interactive urban planning. Rotterdam stands as a prime example of this approach, integrating open data within its digital twin project. Through open urban platforms and transparent data-sharing practices, Rotterdam’s digital twin allows stakeholders to visualise the city’s current state, engage in data-driven planning, and co-create sustainable solutions.  

This webinar will highlight how such initiatives can transform urban management and planning. Join a Commission Policy Officer who will introduce the concept of smart cities and share the latest policies and developments. Following this, participants will gain valuable insights from Rotterdam’s digital twin experience, exploring the technical requirements, societal benefits, and collaborative potential of open data within smart cities. This session will showcase how data accessibility enhances transparency and streamlines urban services, making our cities smarter and more efficient. 

Discover how open data is revolutionising urban management and planning and learn about the broader role of smart city initiatives in enhancing urban environments. Do not miss this opportunity to learn from leading experts and see how open data can power the cities of the future. Register now!
