Changing the World One City at a Time

The City Innovate Summit brings together citizens, companies, cities, makers, start-ups, CIOs (chief innovation officers), academia, VC’s and media to convene, collaborate and co-create the new urban future for all cities. Know more on the event’s Web site at: http://summit.cityinnovate.org

In 2015, the ResCom community (the French networking research community) organizes its annual school on the Smart City theme. The 2015 edition of the ResCom summer school will be held in Lyon from June 22 to 26 and will offer a cross-way and multidisciplinary vision of the smart city theme, spanning the network infrastructure and the societal and privacy issues, going through data collection and processing.

CityLab@Inria is happy to be part of the event and will be proudly represented by the Urbanet, MiMove, CLIME, OAK and FUN research teams.

The event is further co-organized by 2 members of CityLab@Inria: Drs Nathalie Mitton and Hervé Rivano.

Researchers of Urban Civics, a project of CityLab@Inria contributed to the France Inter radio program on smart city that was broadcasted on 8 March 2015. The program is in French and may be listened to at:  http://www.franceinter.fr/emission-interception-des-octets-dans-ma-ville (available till December 2017).

CityLab@Inria researchers contribute to a full day working session on “Smart City and Mobility” to be held as part of BIS’2015 at CITRIS at UC Berkeley.

The annual BIS  (Berkeley-Inria-Stanford) workshop is part of the Inria@SiliconValley program. It is co-organized by Inria and its partners in California.  The objectives of the workshop are to present the current status of ongoing scientific collaborations and to work on proposals for future ambitious joint projects.

Inria and its partners of the Inria@SiliconValley program, including researchers of CityLab@Inria, having engaged into research collaboration on smart cities and related issue of urban mobility, the working session on smart city is structured around panels and is the occasion to exchange about ongoing as well as potential future collaborations on the theme.

CityLab@Inria researchers contribute to the Inria-Industry meeting on “Smart City and Mobility” jointly organized by  Inria, Inria@SiliconValley, and PRIME.

For the first time, this event will take place in San Francisco demonstrating how Inria is contributing to global innovation in digital technology.

This event aims at fostering collaboration and create business opportunities between Inria research teams / startups and American companies. It is a unique occasion to discover cutting-edge innovations and solutions pertaining to: Urban physical and social sensing (air quality, noise pollution, transport, etc.), Big data analysis for city planning, traffic management and personalized mobility, Wireless communications, sensor networks, communication optimization, urban networks, Data ownership, privacy and security, Democratization of urban information and citizen engagement, New mobility solutions (robotized and autonomous systems).

A one-day seminar on scientific computing for smart cities will take place at IFSTTAR (Champs sur Marne, in Paris suburbs) on 12 March 2015. It will deal with the contributions of numerical simulation for understanding and decision making at urban scale. Several applications will serve as illustrations: water quality, air pollution, traffic, acoustics, etc.

This seminar is organized by Vivien Mallet from CityLab@Inria, Thiên-Hiêp Lê from ONERA and Xavier Louis from IFSTTAR.

Josef Sivic from CityLab@Inria will present his work on “Large-Scale Quantitative Visual Analysis”.
