Smart City Dilemma Sessions

We believe that smart city projects can create more impact – and more effective ecosystems – if we learn from each other and share the tools and skills needed to make our cities smarter.Smart City Academy therefore serves as a knowledge hub for Amsterdam Smart City, as we develop knowledge, research and education about the do’s and don’ts of smart city projects. Our goal is to accelerate and elevate your smart city project, as we unravel the ‘Amsterdam’ approach and the key elements of making an impact in Amsterdam’s innovative ecosystem. A vital part of our mission is to share this knowledge with the professionals of today and tomorrow.

Smart City Academy

This session is the first in a series of Smart City Dilemmas and podcasts. This time the topic is Energy Citizens.

The aim of these sessions is to highlight a Smart City topic together, to share knowledge based on the latest insights and to identify important dilemmas. After every Smart City Dilemma session we will ask our guests to come back during a podcast to go deeper into what we have talked about and to reflect on what they have learned. We do not work on solutions, but we want to question these solutions. The transition to a climate-neutral society and the energy transition requires the involvement of all relevant stakeholders: policymakers, energy suppliers, network operators, but also residents. In addition to being energy consumers, residents are increasingly becoming energy traders and even energy producers. We wonder what this means; and what dilemmas arise that we as the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences want to work with? This first session Is mainly intended for teachers, researchers and others who want to gain more knowledge about the transition to a climate-neutral society. In a small setting we will look at various approaches to Energy Citizenship, such as peer-to-peer platforms, behavior, justice, cooperation &amp; conflict, skills and technical aspects. These topics will be covered by speakers like Reint Jan Renes (Professor of Psychology for a Sustainable City at AUAS), Beatriz Pineda Revilla (Researcher and Lecturer at AUAS), Pedro Lopes de Carvalho (Senior Researcher &amp; Project Leader Empower 2.0 at AUAS), Jurgen van der Heijden (Senior Consultant Environment &amp; Energy at Osborne), Martijn de Waal (professor Play and Civic Media at AUAS) and Mark van Wees (Project manager Urban Technology and ATELIER at AUAS) will be the moderator of the session. Together we will work on dilemmas with a multidisciplinary approach in various projects like ATELIER, Schoon Schip, EMPOWER 2.0, Energy Transition Indische Buurt and Warmtenet Watergraafsmeer and learn from it.
