Smart cities and data spaces: A recap of our November and December
sessions
In November, the data.europa.eu academy
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] hosted two informative webinars,
continuing its popular ‘Data Spaces
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/role-dataeuropaeu-eu-data-spaces]’
series and launching the new ‘Smart Cities
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/open-data-best-practices-and-monitoring-use-cases]’
series. The Data Spaces webinar focused on data management, whereas
the Smart Cities webinar delved into smart city technologies in
Europe. Both webinars demonstrated how data accessibility and
innovative technologies are driving innovation across various
sectors. 

The first webinar, ‘Data Spaces: Experience from the European Health
and Common Energy Data Spaces’
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/events/data-spaces-experience-european-health-and-common-energy-data-spaces],
explored the European Health Data Space
[https://www.european-health-data-space.com/] and the Common European
Energy Data Space
[https://energy.ec.europa.eu/publications/common-european-energy-data-space_en],
focusing on developments in data accessibility, security, and
interoperability. Experts from the European Commission shared their
experiences and insights, demonstrating how these data spaces are
driving innovation in the healthcare and energy sectors. Attendees
engaged in discussions and networking, gaining valuable insights to
integrate data spaces into their work. The webinar was recorded, so

The ‘Smart Cities and Digital Twin Technology: The Case of
Rotterdam’
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/events/webinar-smart-cities-and-digital-twin-technology-case-rotterdam]
webinar explored the innovative world of smart city technology,
focusing on how open data is transforming urban management. A European
Commission Policy Officer introduced smart city strategies and key
policies, while a representative from Rotterdam presented the city’s
digital twin project. This initiative integrates real-time data to
support transparent decision-making and collaborative urban planning,
offering a practical example of how technology can enable sustainable
urban development. If you missed the webinar, you can watch the
