GREENGAGE Project Kick-Off in Bristol

The Horizon Europe project GREENGAGE has been kicked-off in Bristol (UK) on 20-21 February 2023. Led by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, 17 partners from 8 European countries will be working on this pan-European Innovation Action that is deploying digital solutions to transform citizen engagement and city effectiveness in delivering European Green Deal objectives for carbon-neutral cities.

Over the two-day meeting, an in-depth and fruitful discussion took place with all the project partners regarding the project tasks, individual contributions, the timeline of the project and the overall expectations from this exciting initiative. This event provided a chance for the partners to meet in-person, but also to open some interesting discussions and to kick-off a dialogue on conceptualization of GREENGAGE Citizen Observatories and the requirements of individual Pilots (cities and regions) regarding the offered technologies.

On the first day of the meeting, partners also had the opportunity to visit the Bristol Citizen Observatory, which is located in the inner east of Bristol. The East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood is an area of a city where improvements will be designed in partnership with local communities to achieve a better balance between how streets are used for vehicles and people. The partners had an interesting and engaging guided tour around the neighbourhood organized by the project partner Bristol City Council.

Overall, we are excited to see the impact that this project will have on the promotion of green and digital transformation towards carbon-neutral cities.
