23 – 27 July 2018, Urban Sciences Building at Science Central Newcastle, United Kingdom
The University of Newcastle, UERA and EERA, are organising a summer school on smart cities.
The summer school provides training and learning opportunities to equip you with new skills for urban sustainability research and innovation, both in the field of social innovation, and in the field of sustainable and energy-efficiency technologies. The summer school will take place at Newcastle, at the Urban Sciences Building at Science Central, a data-rich, sensed environment. The site is home to the Urban Observatory, a living lab gathering sensor data on its performance, energy sources and consumption, and even its building skins. Newcastle has extensive urban sensing at micro (appliance), meso (building) and macro (city) scales.
About UERA and EERA
UERA strengthens, expands and optimises the European development of new urban research and innovation capabilities. The EERA JP SC aims to develop scientific tools and methods that will enable intelligent design, planning and operation of the energy system of an entire city in the near future. Both organisations support this Summer School.
