1st Symposium on Data Driven Smart City Science and Transferability (DaSCiT)
(Co-located with BTW25 in Bamberg)
The concept of smart cities is rapidly evolving, with projects sprouting up globally. These initiatives seek to leverage technology and data to enhance urban living, optimize resource management, and improve the overall quality of life. The effective use of data is central to smart city projects, enabling informed decision-making, real-time responsiveness, and strategic planning.
Despite advancements, cities face common hurdles such as data integration, privacy concerns, scalability, and ensuring equitable access to technology. Diverse projects demonstrate the innovative ways cities are becoming smarter, yet there is a pressing need to understand and replicate successful models. The broad spectrum of stakeholders is illustrated by smart cities with large financial resources as well as municipalities that focus on smaller digitalization projects. Companies, which can be industry leaders, as well as small and medium-sized businesses or start-ups working on innovative ideas also reflect the diversity. Together with researchers from different disciplines, this provides an important opportunity for collaboration, sharing insights and knowledge transfer.
The DaSCiT symposium on 3 March 2025 aims to address common challenges, explore untapped potential for collaboration, and foster knowledge exchange in the realm of data-driven smart city initiatives. We look forward to welcoming you in Bamberg! Further information on registration can be found here.
The call for papers is closed.
