Description
The «Smart City Switzerland» programme announced by the Swiss
Federal Office of Energy promotes Swiss cities and municipalities
on their way to becoming a smart city. The aim is to involve more
Swiss cities in the Smart City Community by the mid-2020s and to
support them in triggering a Smart City process. The contract for
the multi-year «Smart City Switzerland» programme was awarded to
the association «Smart City Hub Switzerland», of which the ZHAW is
also a member with its Smart Cities & Regions platform.
The ZHAW contributes with: Smart City projects in practice,
education/further training on Smart Cities & Regions,
methodologies, co-creation, Smart City Survey, basic principles
(including guidelines for cities and municipalities), student work,
international research, information and contact point, interface
between international affairs and digitalisation, Smart Regions &
Villages, support for relevant events, inputs for website and
articles.
