Living-in.EU: Digital Transformation in the European Cities
Living-in.EU: The Initiative
The Living-in.eu initiative for boosting sustainable digital transformation in cities and communities in the EU was introduced in 2019. Supported by the European Commission and the European Committee of the Regions, it is a platform to cope with the aforementioned challenges and utilizing digital solutions to make the cities climate neutral and work together on societal challenges in a ‘European Way’.
The digital solutions which the Living-in.eu is primarily focused on include ICT-enabled government services for seamless civic experience, digital technologies based public transportation system with enhanced comfort and reliability, energy efficiency, and environmentally sustainable housing. The initiative will gradually extend its scope and will encompass almost every aspect of life. The socio-economic benefits from this digital transformation of Europe will cover all communities by substantially improving infrastructure and skills.

Certifying the Security and Resilience of Supply Chain Services (CYRENE)
CYRENE vision is to enhance the security, privacy, resilience, accountability and trustworthiness of Supply Chains. It proposes a novel Conformity Assessment Process that evaluates the security and resilience of supply chain services, the interconnected IT infrastructures composing these services and the individual devices that support the operations of the SCs. Standardization efforts are a priority for CYRENE. Besides reporting on the applicable legal frameworks with particular emphasis on the application and implementation of the General data protection regulation, Privanova participation in standardisation activities includes also promotion of the project outcomes and bridging it with the Living-in.eu initiative.
Particularly relevant for CYRENE is the technical group of living-in.eu initiative. The group aims to: develop a common list of standards and technical specifications to achieve interoperability of data, systems, and platforms among cities and communities and suppliers around the world to enable solutions such open urban platforms and digital twins. CYRENE follows the work of the group and will disseminate its output on tools and methodologies for securing Supply-Chains contributing thus to the objectives of the initiative.
