On 6 September 2022, anyone working towards a clean urban energy transition is invited to attend the final RUGGEDISED Smart Cities and Communities event. This showcase will be followed by the Recharge Earth Energy Transition Conference, taking place on 7-8 September, 2022, which will also feature RUGGEDISED best practices.

Taking place in Rotterdam, these events highlight the smart city lessons from the RUGGEDISED project, where the cities of Rotterdam, Glasgow, Umeå, Parma, Brno and Gdansk have worked with researchers and private industry on pushing urban transition through Smart City developments and methods. Recharge Earth will taget professionals involved in the energy transition, investigating how a cleaner energy supply involves complex issues that cannot be solved by any one actor.

The leading cities in the RUGGEDISED project, the so-called “Lighthouse Cities” of Rotterdam, Umeå and Glasgow have all recently been selected by the European Commission for the EU Cities Mission, aiming to be among 100 climate neutral and smart cities by 2030.

The entire event takes place in the RUGGEDISED demonstration area, Heart of South, at the Rotterdam Ahoy Conference Centre.
