23/09/2024

EPIC – The European Platform for Intelligent Cities – is a European Commission-funded project (ICT PSP) that aims to wed state-of-the-art cloud computing technologies with fully researched and tested e-Government service applications to create the first truly scalable and flexible pan-European platform for innovative, user-driven public service delivery. The European Network of Living Labs is a partner in EPIC.

EPIC – The European Platform for Intelligent Cities – is a European Commission-funded project (ICT PSP) that aims to wed state-of-the-art cloud computing technologies with fully researched and tested e-Government service applications to create the first truly scalable and flexible pan-European platform for innovative, user-driven public service delivery. The European Network of Living Labs is a partner in EPIC.

In so doing, EPIC will present public administrations with a unique opportunity to cut costs and drive innovation by providing access to a market-leading shared infrastructure that facilitates rapid prototyping and testing.

To achieve its vision, EPIC will work with Living Labs and citizens across Europe to create and test new city services that can be rapidly prototyped and shared via the Cloud platform:

 

Brussels, Belgium: Relocation Service Application – helping families to relocate from another European country to Brussels,

Issy-les-Moulineaux, France: Urban Planning Application – enabling users to visualise changes to the urban landscape

Manchester. UK: Smart Environment Application – helping households to reduce their carbon consumption

Tirgu Mures, Romania: Shared services validation through replicating and testing of the new services

 

The EPIC project kicked-off in November 2010 in Helsinki in conjunction with the Commission’s Smart Cities conference and since has made its mark as one of the leading Smart Cities projects in Europe.
