Hello Europe! The last few months have been very busy on our end. The main event was, of course, our Summer School in Tampere. It was a truly constructive meeting which allowed us to learn not only about the local approach to urban digitalization, but also to exchange our views from all partner countries. All participants described the event as an eye opeining experience in terms of digitalization. As a result, much progress has been made in all project areas. Right now, we are working on the last bits of content for our first version of the online platform. Thanks to the bootcamps we could gain so much insight into the target group! Also, we are currently preparing our Smart City Bootcamps numbers three and four which will take place in Ancona and Hallein. These will serve as another round of validation for our materials, such as the Smart City Toolkit and the Smart City Handbook.

We will keep on working at a steady pace until the end of this year. The final stretch is approaching, since our closing conference will be in Fevruary 2023. Until then, stay tuned!
