The SEKEE, in collaboration with the Union of Informatics and Communications Engineers of Greece (EMIPEE) and the << id="t2">EEL/LAK, and with the support of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Hub of the Technopolis of the Municipality of Athens (InnovAthens), is organizing an event on Thursday, October 30 2014 in the area of Technopolis, building of the gas station 2 (map).
The event will start at 10.00 and is structured in 3 working sections.
Thefirst section refers to the presentation of applications that use satellite data for services to the residents and agencies of the city and is an attempt to open the possibilities and knowledge that exists in our cities, to the residents, to the professionals who are active in them, but and to their visitors. Selected, award-winning applications will be presented, which already allow the active involvement of the citizen in the functions of the city today.
TheSecond Unit is about the technologies and platforms for the collection and processing of the city’s open data and especially the most innovative international efforts.
The SMART platform (www.smartfp7.eu) will be presented, a search platform for multimedia data produced by the city at points of public nature and interest, with the aim of utilizing them in applications such as city guides. Accordingly, the eVACUATE project (www.evacuate.eu) aims to observe all available data in the city in order to ensure citizens in crisis conditions with particular interest in the safe abandonment of gathering points of the public (Stages, Squares, MMM stations). We will listen to the challenges from the vision of the “connected society”, through the experience of Ericsson.
TheThird Section refers to the cities that are invited to present their vision to serve the needs of citizens, directly through new innovative services offered by them, as well as indirectly through the offer of a wide variety of open data. We will see and explore together with the executives of the cities themselves, case studies from the cities of Santander (perhaps the smartest city in Europe), London and Istanbul where heterogeneous systems work together harmoniously to solve their citizen’s problems.
At the end of the event, a workshop will be held to exchange experiences and investigate the possibilities of joint actions between the participating organizations.
