FinEst Centre hosts intern from Stanford University in summer 2024

Internship description and opportunities

The intern is expected to join the continuous process of matching long-term city challenges (e.g. urbanization, climate change) with ideas on how to solve them in the urban environment via research and innovation actions that we call pilots.

If successful, those pilots aim to transform European cities of becoming climate-neutral and smart by 2030.

The FinEst Centre is preparing a new round of smart city pilot projects where each project should involve one Estonian municipality and a foreign one.

The Centre is also participating in several pan-European projects that conduct research and pilot projects in various European Cities (e.g. NetZeroCities) and twin-city pilots on urban data integration. The total combined volume of those piloting programmes exceeds 100 million dollars.

Continued collaboration: FinEst Centre and Stanford’s smart cities movement

In 2023, Founding Director of FinEst Centre, prof. Ralf-Martin Soe, visited Stanford as a Global Digital Governance Fellow.

In a prior article, we shared insights into the leads initiated during this fellowship within Stanford’s network of smart cities. Notably, one of these leads involves hosting a senior researcher from Stanford at Estonia’s FinEst Centre in TalTech. Additionally, another exciting development is the ongoing internship opportunity for a student in 2024, with applications accepted until January 28th, 2024.
