🌟 🚀 Defining Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) for #DigitalBuildingPermits: A Key Step Toward #DigitalTransformation of #PermitingProcedures 🚀🌟 🤝 As a collaborative effort of WP2, our amazing colleagues of Universidade do Minho (PT) and Università degli Studi di Brescia (IT) authored the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) for Digital Building Permits (DBP) document as a Deliverable 2.5. ℹ️ This deliverable goes beyond a standard template and provides a detailed, practical example of Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) designed for the municipality of Ascoli Piceno (Comune di Ascoli Piceno) in Italy, CHEK project partner. It aligns with EN ISO 19650 and sets forth a structured framework for municipalities and stakeholders to define, manage, and exchange the critical data required for digital building permits. 📄 The EIR ensures that: ✅ Stakeholders have clear guidance on the information needed to fulfill building permit requirements. ✅ Processes follow best practices for compliance with digital and technical standards. ✅ Digitalization accelerates through enhanced BIM-GIS integration and robust information modeling guidelines. 🎯 This document is another important milestone on our path to provide an innovative toolkit supporting the digitalization of building permit issuing and automated compliance checks. This deliverable provides a vital tool to standardize and simplify these processes. It empowers municipalities to achieve efficiency, transparency, and interoperability while fostering innovation in urban governance. 👉 Access Deliverable 2.5 at: https://lnkd.in/ekgaiEEM Luciana Miranda Bruno Muniz José Granja Miguel Azenha Sara Comai #CHEKdbp #DBP #HorizonEurope #ExchangeInformationRequirements #EIR #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Research #BIM #GIS #ISO19650 #UrbanGovernance

How to design Open Innovation Contests💡 - a thread. #0: PROLOGUE A few months ago, together with Federico Frattini, Simone Franzò, Angelo Natalicchio and Luca Mion we authored a paper on #Technovation, shedding light on our approach to designing and activating open innovation contests/challenges at HIT - Hub Innovazione Trentino. (SPOILER - the process mirrors that of developing a new product/service: you need to employ a set of innovation management methods and practices to progress from initial scattered ideas to a tangible, marketable outcome). The paper is rich in insights tailored for innovation management practitioners and leaders willing to launch programs to foster open innovation and facilitate knowledge/technology transfer at a regional level. Having supported over 100 companies and public administrations in innovating with external partners over a span of 7 years through our challenges, it's worth unpacking a bit the contents of this paper for broader dissemination. I’ll be breaking down its essence into 10 posts over the next 10 days - or so... Stay tuned for a deeper dive into our methodology and findings, and please put a like if you are interested in the topic!

Learning more about successful #GovTech solutions at the GovTech Connect Assembly, where the European Commission and the GovTech community explore the potential of the latest technology innovations in the public sector. In the panel "From Vision to Action: Overcoming Implementation Challenges of GenAI in Public Services", Marco Montorio, head of unit in the EU AI office, announces that the European Commission will be launching a call 'GenAI for the public administrations' as part of the Digital Europe Programme, in which pilot projects will be financed that comprise one or more use cases where European GenAI solutions are developed and applied in the public administrations of member states. https://lnkd.in/e3c5ZnNq

Takin.solutions is proud to announce it is co-sponsoring a PhD candidate with the University of Teramo on the topic, “The intersection of semantic modelling and historical research”. The accepted candidate will work with scholars from the School in Higher Educational Research (https://unitedoc.it/) and semantic data experts at Takin.solutions (https://lnkd.in/dWM5cYGE) in creating a research project that explores the cutting edge in applying semantic data modelling techniques to pushing forward historical research. The suitable candidate will have a relevant background in historical research (the topic of research for the PhD must fall in the space of early modern history) and research data management, ideally with some pre-existing knowledge of formal ontology and semantic data modelling techniques. The description of the project scope can be found in the attached document. The specific description of the topic is: “The intersection of semantic data modelling and historical research The aim of this research project is to formulate a set of historical questions and to develop a set of methodologies through the approach of digital humanities. The PhD student will work with ontologies (in particular CIDOC CRM) and adapt them to suitable platforms. An important part of the work will be the study of historical case studies and the development of a corresponding model. More specifically, the PhD will look at building semantic data models adequate to support historical research questions, working with real case studies from the early modern Mediterranean. such as, for example, diasporas, forced and voluntary migrations. Or trade dynamics. Building from real world historical data as use cases. the researcher will explore the affordances that semantic data model ling offers to support and facilitate an increasingly digital first historical research practice. The research will thus look at the applicability of well known ontological models such as CIDOC CRM lo historical research questions but also look at the suite of tools and methods around semantic data management that need to be mastered to support historical research. The researcher will explore how semantic data methods from semantic data modelling to its application in real research scenarios. can be ameliorated through the chaining together of appropriate tools and techniques for creating and working with semantic historical data in a FAIR context.” Details on how to apply and specific requirements are to be found here: https://lnkd.in/dbFWVHGE Or here: https://unitedoc.it/calls The deadline for application is 19/6/2024. The PhD will be written in the English language. Please contact [email protected] for further information

#Research4SocialImpact2024: Looking forward to an interesting annual boot camp where we will reflect on evolution of research methodologies from a wide range of #vantage points. Besides #remembering the #effervescent and affable Prof Pier Paoli Frassinelli who was the #brain child of the Boot Camp, we look at the past, #present and #futures of research #methodologies. In my talk, I will anchor my presentation on the #multisitedness of fieldwork in a volatile, unpredictable, #complex and #ambiguous world. I will #foreground #tentative guidelines, the #temptation of  "going native" in typical #Malinowskian #fashion and #guardrails (ethical compass) in an #environment where institutional ethical codes and boards are moving at a snail pace. Looking forward to sharing the space with my colleagues at the great University of Johannesburg. #CaMExcellence #CAMagnificence
