The objective of these thematic workshops is to mobilise the community in anticipation of the upcoming Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes, and to consolidate priorities from the communities of stakeholders in a roadmap for Europe (the main objective for NGIoT), both relating to technologies and with respect to supporting the range of relevant policies, including the green deal.

The afternoon of 30 March 2021 will be dedicated to presentations and discussions in the domain of agrifood and rural smart communities. The workshop will bring together the visions on smart communities from several associations and projects: Living-in.EU, AURORAL and dRural and the more sectoral aspects DEMETER, ATLAS, IoF2020 and SmartAgriHubs.

The economy of rural smart communities in Europe is a key focus area for the European Commission, both short-term in securing equal access to connectivity and services and as part of the long-term vision for rural areas. As the pandemic has shown, the rural areas are surging in popularity for both short- and long-term relocation. At the same time, rural areas are linked to urban areas, through people, economy, territory – and food.

In spring 2021, NGIoT workshops are dedicated to IoT and Edge computing in 6 key application domains: Smart Cities & Communities; Agrifood and rural communities (30 March); manufacturing; automotive industry and mobility (27 April); energy and health (18 May).

The purpose of the workshop is to:

• identify research, innovation and deployment priorities long term, with a specific focus on the green and digital transformation of European cities and communities
• identify trends and gaps related to the advance of IoT in urban areas and communities leading to sustainable pathways,
• opportunities related to the convergence of IoT with other technologies, specifically, the current shift from cloud to edge; digital twins, and AIOT based services
• mobilise the communities around the identified solutions and the upcoming calls under the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe Programme.

Special attention will be given to the role of “Edge Nodes”, which are part of Europe’s Digital Decade, and the goal of 10,000 climate-neutral edge nodes. Also, the role of and potential investments in Device Gateway Platforms in the context of data spaces, platforms and digital twins will be explored

Hosted by NGIoT and EU-IoT projects with Living-in.EU, OASC, EUROCITIES, AIOTI, FIWARE Foundation and the European Commission.
