Outcomes and deliverables

  • A well-managed and living community of Living-in.eu stakeholders (including a growing number of signatories);
  • Creation of a Community Management Toolkit that enables the management and fosters the growth of the community in a sustainable manner, in collaboration with the EU data space for smart communities (see section 2.2.1.2) and taking into account the European Data Spaces Technical Framework developed by the Data Spaces Support Centre (see topic 2.2.2.1);
  • Increased uptake of cross-domain interoperable digital solutions, including local data platforms, and AI-powered local digital twins across EU cities and communities for improved service delivery and to address societal challenges, in particular the objectives of the European Green Deal objectives and the Zero Pollution Action Plan (COM(2021) 400);
  • Close collaboration with EU initiatives such as the New European Bauhaus initiative, the Mission on Climate Neutral and Smart Cities and Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, and others as relevant, in order to promote synergies and alignment with the Living-in.eu principles.
Objective:

The aim is to support the governance of the Living-in.eu community by coordinating the broad range of activities and stakeholders with various expertise (legal, financial, technical, education and capacity building, impact measuring).

Scope:

The project should define the processes of interaction and decision-making among the actors involved in the Living-in.eu community. The activities should comprise:

  • Co-creation of the processes, actors, roles, rights, associated timeframes of the various sub-groups and to ensure the development and scaling up of digital smart and green solutions by the community;
  • Running the coordination of all activities, including, but not limited to, community building and management, on boarding of new members, communication and exploitation of results, in the context of the Living-in.eu movement for the benefit of all the parties;
  • Monitoring and supporting the relevant actions undertaken by the community that contribute to the establishment of interoperable digital platforms in cities and communities and measuring their impact to achieve their smart and sustainability goals.;
  • Organise the supply side around a joint vision compatible with Living-in.EU principles for the provision of Local Digital Twins solutions in Europe.

The action is encouraged to cooperate and promote synergies with the data space for smart communities (see section 2.2.1.2), EDGES (see section 5.3.1), the AI TEF for smart communities (see topic 2.3.2.4), the New European Bauhaus initiative, those Horizon Europe missions that work with communities and cities as key implementing partners (e.g. Mission on Climate Neutral and Smart Cities and Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change), the Zero Pollution Stakeholder Platform, and other relevant EU initiatives.
