Smart Cities Advanced Learning
SCALE
The end-to-end digitalization and intelligent networking of all areas of life and sectors, such as energy supply systems, mobility, urban living, administration and the healthcare system, is driving the further development of smart city concepts. These are being tested by innovative smart city projects that are becoming increasingly complex and interdisciplinary. The diversity of application levels requires project managers to have not only solid specialist knowledge, but also transversal skills that are necessary for the successful implementation of smart city projects. Promising professional fields with new qualification structures are emerging here. These must now be identified in the European SCALE project.
Goals and contents
The aim of the two-year SCALE project is to develop and validate an international training concept for smart city-related transversal skills. This training concept will include a study module and an international internship phase, which can be completed in a European partner company. A specific feature of the internship is that it will be developed, tested and offered on a permanent basis as a blended mobility concept - an intelligent mix of physical presence phases in companies and virtual components.
The study module and the internship concept will be coordinated and integrated into existing university curricula so that students can subsequently qualify as smart city managers.
The project will also promote closer cooperation between universities and industry and boost the innovation potential of all those involved in the smart city sector.
Further projects in the research field of city, country & mobility
Sector Coupling
To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, fossil fuels must be replaced gradually. In this awareness, new photovoltaic and wind power plants have been built in recent years.
KREGI
The pilot project will develop a comprehensive catalog of measures that takes into account both hard and soft factors such as material resources, mobility, biodiversity and social aspects in order to plan resource- and climate-efficient commercial and industrial areas.
BüWoLand
Creating equivalent living conditions in rural and urban areas and making cities resilient is a particular task of the Federal Government, which is formulated in the coalition agreement.
Open Innovation City Bielefeld
In an era of rapid technological change and social development, innovation is becoming the measure of the continued viability of German cities and regions.
SCALE
The further development of smart city concepts is driven by the continuous digitization and intelligent networking of all areas of life and sectors, such as energy supply systems, mobility, urban living, administration, and healthcare.
