🏙️ 50 EU cities and communities have already embarked on a transformative journey to design a comprehensive digitalisation roadmap for the next five years. This strategy paves the way for establishing Local Data Platforms or Local Digital Twins. Read about the achievements of Dresden and how the Online Helpdesk Service for Smart Communities has been a key player in their success. 📍 "The LORDIMAS maturity assessment not only helped to check the feasibility and comprehensiveness of the new strategy, but it also substantially helped to guide its practical implementation. Looking into the development level of the smart city strategy, digital twin concepts and purposeful urban data utilisation from governance as well as technology perspective, important cornerstones and requisite actions for the further process became clear." 📢 We're calling on more cities and communities to join this movement!

Complex research presents communication challenges. There's a lot of cutting edge, high-level research happening, but key breakthroughs often get lost in translation. The EU Missions 🇪🇺 are trying to bridge this information gap, leveraging citizen science and highlighting the societal impact of research. However, making this happen is easier said than done! Let’s explore one of our projects to see how effective science communication can help to guarantee the legacy of the EU Soil Mission. 🌱 Find out why science communication is key to advancing the #MissionSoil 👉https://lnkd.in/dEauwzGf #EUMissions #Soil #ScienceCommunication #TechnopolisExperts #VitaminT Mathilde Bazin-Retours, ORCaSa project, Soil Carbon IRC ARCTIK - Communication for Sustainability

On 11-12 December, the S3CoP Consortium, led by Technopolis Group, had the privilege of organising the second edition of the S3Conference in Rimini, Italy. 🇮🇹 With the support of the Comune di Rimini and the Regione Emilia-Romagna, the event brought together 470 participants from across the EU regions, clusters, S3 experts, and associations, emphasising the importance of collaboration to advance smart specialisation strategies. After a comprehensive introduction by Elisabetta Marinelli on the work of the S3CoP Secretariat in the morning, the conference featured an engaging programme, from diverse parallel sessions on funding synergies, S3 governance and industrial transition to interactive networking activities. These discussions delved into pressing issues for the Regional Innovation Valleys initiative, addressing challenges such as circularity 🔄, digital transformation 🌐, health innovation 💡, food security 🌾, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels 🌱. Agis Evrigenis closed the conference with forward-looking remarks for the S3 community, followed by Director General of the Emilia Romagna Region Morena Diazzi and DG REGIO Acting Deputy Director General Nicola De Michelis. On the second day, the working groups convened to discuss industrial transition, innovation diffusion, and interregional collaboration, as well as the S3 partnerships, tackling the importance of finding common ground and expertise to succeed in thematic areas such as agri-food 🌽, energy ⚡, industrial modernisation 🏭, and the sustainable blue economy 🌊. The S3 conference emphasised the importance of adapting Smart Specialisation Strategies to a constantly evolving policy landscape and the need to align EU priorities with regional realities. It further stressed S3's key role in representing a transformative approach for regional development, focussing on the European Union's overall vision of a more equitable and sustainable future. We are grateful for being part of these conversations and support efforts towards a green and innovative future! #S3Conference #S3CoP #SmartCities #SmartSpecialisation #EURegions #UrbanDevelopment #GreenTransition #IndustrialTransition Laura Galante, Elena Ontiveros, Ieva Stanislovaityte, Santiago Donat, Nikos Maroulis

👇 Fresh perspectives from Diogo Machado, Head of Data Science at Technopolis Group, one of our experts presenting at the #REvaluation24. We’re proud to see you contributing to the conversation on #AI use in #SciencePolicy!
Amid the rapid rise of AI in scientific research, is there anything about science that remains quintessentially human? 🥼 - 🤖 👇 ... This question, posed by our great friend Peter Kolarz from Research On Research Institute (RoRI), marked the end of my participation at the #REvaluation24 conference in Vienna last week. At the conference, I had the opportunity to present two pieces of Technopolis Group work operationalising #AI use in #sciencepolicy. The first piece focused on our work using generative AI to review scientific evaluation reports with the Austrian Science Fund FWF, while the second piece delved into using AI to measure scientific originality and help address AI biases against highly novel and risky ideas. My answer: human curiosity and passion. We invest in science for lots of good reasons—all the social progress, productivity, and improving public health...—which are exciting in the policy world but, let’s be honest, kind of boring to everyone else. Yet, for me, beyond these practical motivations, it’s our innate curiosity and the fact that science is simply fun that truly drives it forward. Science is a game, a puzzle that researchers become obsessed with, leading to immense human satisfaction and, at times, (or most of the time?) large doses of human frustration. Also of course leading to both healthy and unhealthy competition and collaboration. For me, these human traits—curiosity, passion, obsession, and the emotional highs and lows of the scientific journey—are what makes scientific research quintessentially human. They go beyond perfectly rational decision-makers and delve into the realm of the intangible—not to mention the serendipitous mistakes that often pave the way for transformational discoveries. Could we tweak AI to have all of these quirky and profound traits? Perhaps, but they will always be an imitation, never the real thing (and perhaps that's for the best—for the sake of the AI science robot itself!). After the thought-provoking discussions at this conference, I am genuinely curious to see—and continue contributing to—how AI will shape the future of science. While the risks and challenges it introduces are undeniable, I remain confident that AI will not only help us fulfil our curiosity but also inspire and amplify it! Thank you Austrian Platform for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation (fteval) for the wonderful event and hosting up to ten Technopolis Group policy contributions!
