Project’s main objectives

European Data Space for Smart Communities aims to create a large-scale cross-sectoral data space for smart communities in the EU and advance its implementation to support policy priorities of cities and communities.  

The aim is also to validate the governance and technical blueprint developed by the preparatory action through 10-12 cross-sectorial & cross-border pilot projects. The pilots will validate the blueprint in real use to deliver a sustainable European data space.  

The pilot call is specifically designed for local public administrations in the EU and the industry (company, academia, NGOs) working with them.
