Material from CITIES final conference – November 9, 2020

Updated November 16, 2020

ABOUT THE CITIES FINAL CONFERENCE

Could we be 100% fossil-free tomorrow? In the research project CITIES – Center for IT Intelligent Energy Systems – universities, industrial partners and utilities have been researching the use of data for energy optimization in cities for seven years.

At our final conference – November 9, 2020, we were focusing on how digitalization can accelerate the green transition and what it takes before we can take full advantage of digitalization.

Just over a hundred participants had signed up for the conference. In the videos, you only see the speakers on the right of the screen – while the participants are hidden.

CITIES also participated in the Green Digitalization conference on November 10, 2020 – together with FED and DiCyPs projects: Find the presentations here: https://www.flexibleenergydenmark.dk/vil-du-vide-mere/events/green-digitalization-conference-2020/
