Project description
Open Innovation for Internet-enabled services and next generation access (NGA) in smart cities
CROSS focuses on nurturing an innovation ecosystem that generates digital services and applications making use of information generated by users in the smart city environment. CROSS recognises unexploited opportunities for services and applications in the field of non-monetary economy, where new needs and practices are emerging, and where a new sector of the digital single market has the potential for a sustainable, inclusive and smart growth. Sample activity areas that are considered by CROSS for piloting are:1.\tMutual service communities for assistance to elderly people;2.\tCommunities for social inclusion of immigrates;3.\tLearning communities for support to school dropouts and low culture people;4.\tCommunities of volunteers assisting persons with disabilities.The choice is motivated by the priorities set up in the Europe 2020 Flagship "European platform against poverty" and the respective 1st Annual Convention (Polish Presidency and the European Commission, 12 December 2011).
