Introduction to the project
Living-in.EU aims at promoting sustainable digital transformation in cities, regions and communities in the EU. Stakeholders from all levels of government commit to the goals and principles of the movement by signing the Declaration on joining forces to boost sustainable digital transformation in cities, regions and communities. To help realise the political commitment of its signatories, the Go Li.EU project is providing this community with a governance structure. It supports them to re-use and deploy existing proven digital solutions by working on shared standards and interoperability, capacity-building, legal frameworks, financial instruments, joint investment plans and monitoring mechanisms to measure digital maturity and progress.
Project in Action
For Go Li.EU to support cities and communities to unlock their full potential and to play an enabling role in digital transformation, the consortium needs to tackle the following challenges:
- Increasing the uptake of cross-domain interoperable digital solutions (Local Digital Twins, Data spaces, Data Platforms, etc.)
- Sharing expertise and experience through a dedicated capacity-building programme and mutual learning
- Supporting the growth of the community of signatories, supporters and partnerships
- Monitoring the progress of European cities and communities on green and digital challenges
ERRIN's Role
ERRIN is responsible for measuring the impact of the project and the Living-in.EU initiative at local, regional and European levels. This will be done through the development of a common set of KPIs, the use of existing tools developed in the field of digital transformation and the creation of a common monitoring system.
Through this role, ERRIN is charge, in collaboration with the Committee of the Regions, of one specific working group – the Monitoring and Measuring WG.
Moreover, ERRIN will participate in creating synergies between the various initiatives, projects and stakeholders at local, regional, national and European levels in the field of digitalisation.
Benefit for members and Links with ERRIN WGs and priorities
ERRIN members will have an opportunity to showcase their initiatives related to digital transformation. Interested regions are also able to join the Living-in.eu movement, benefit from capacity building programmes and the development of technical solutions, as well as contribute to shaping the movement through involvement in existing subgroups.
The project will create links with ERRIN's Working Groups, with particular emphasis on the cross-cutting ICT Working Group, offering various engagement possibilities.
