Apollon - 22/5/12 - 16:00 - Smart Open Cities and the Future Internetimec.archive
The document summarizes a presentation on smart cities as innovation ecosystems sustained by the future internet. Some key points:
1) Smart cities are not yet a reality, but rather an urban development strategy and vision focused on empowering citizens and creating an "urban innovation ecology."
2) The FIREBALL project aims to bring together cities, living labs, and future internet stakeholders to explore how open innovation and user participation can support experimentation and adoption of future internet technologies.
3) Case studies of smarter cities show examples of technology districts, living lab initiatives, infrastructure development, and efforts to engage citizens. However, challenges remain around skills gaps, funding, and measuring impact.

2) Investments by cities focused on energy/environment (35%) and transportation (26%) to improve sustainability, with the average level of urban intelligence being 28%.
3) Urban openness was measured by open data and citizen participation, finding room to improve data quality and encourage more co-creation between citizens and
This document discusses the role of living labs and social innovation ecosystems in addressing societal challenges. It notes that current innovation models are not well-suited for societal challenges and explores how social innovation ecosystems could help. The document also describes a collaboratory project in southern Catalonia called "Collaboratori CatSud" that brings together various labs across different organizations to work on issues like climate, energy, culture and health.

The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Coach Domenico Tedesco has managed a tactical shakeup and a regular exit for some of the oldest players. Experienced bests remain, not least the 37-year-old Jan Vertonghen in defense, the 32-year-old De Bruyne himself in midfield, and 31-year-old Romelu Lukaku up visible.
Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.
The only other squad in Group E besides Belgium to UEFA Euro 2024 qualify unbeaten, Romania was awestruck by winning a group that also checked Switzerland and Israel. Still, Euro 2024 will test a squad sorely lacking in top-level skill.
