Innovative space-based solutions for Future Cities

We cordially invite you to a workshop in the frame of ESA’s Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) programme. This event on the topic of “Innovative space-based solutions for Future Cities” will take place on 8 and 9 July 2014, at the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) in Vienna (Schwarzenbergplatz 6, Entrance: Zaunergasse 1-3, 1030 Vienna).

The workshop will present how the development of Future Cities can be supported by space technologies, in which ways the challenges of Future Cities are linked to space applications and how the Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) intends to support and contribute to the development of services to help meet these challenges.

The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the intended tender in the framework of ESA’s IAP programme , envisaged for 2014 and therefore to support a teaming of potential users and ideas. In discussion with participants from different sectors like city planners, public transport managers and energy providers, new solutions can be initiated and possible partners for joint projects can be identified. Discover and imagine smarter cities thanks to space technologies!

The language of the workshop is English and the workshop is targeting participants from all over Europe. More information on the programme, and a possibility to register can be found on http://www.espi.or.at/iap-assignments-59 .
