Descripción del proyecto
De Estonia a Finlandia, un nuevo centro Smart City impulsa la investigación
Estonia acogerá un nuevo centro de excelencia (CdE) multidisciplinario de ciudad inteligente («smart-city»), que formará parte de una sociedad mixta entre la Universidad de tecnología estonia de Tallin y la Universidad finlandesa de Aalto, así como el Foro Virium Helsinki. El proyecto FINEST TWINS, financiado con fondos europeos, ayudará al CdE estonio a establecer asociaciones estratégicas entre las partes interesadas clave de ambos países. El centro se unirá a los principales centros de ciudad inteligente existentes de todo el mundo y se concentrará en la investigación sobre movilidad, energía y entorno urbanizado, combinada con la gobernanza, las analíticas urbanas y la gestión de datos. Para plasmar los resultados de la investigación en innovaciones para la vida real, el centro desarrollará soluciones de ciudad inteligente impulsadas por los usuarios a través de una plataforma transfronteriza que permita la colaboración en materia de innovación con docenas de empresas de ambos países.
Objetivo
The FINEST Twins project will build a multidisciplinary smart-city Center of Excellence (CoE) that mobilises all leading smart city actors and stakeholders in Estonia and establishes solid long-term high-level research, knowledge-transfer and innovation partnerships with the counterparts from the Helsinki region to capitalise on the macro region’s scientific research, innovation and entrepreneurship potential. The CoE will match the leading smart city research centres globally and focus on all five key domains of clean and sustainable smart city development: mobility, energy and built environment glued together by governance and urban analytics & data management (research streams). The FINEST Twins will have a globally unique focus on developing user-driven clean and sustainable smart city solutions that are “cross-border-by-default” in the context of emerging twin city between Tallinn and Helsinki. For this purpose, the CoE will set up an Urban Open Platform Lab (UOP.Lab) that develops and implements Research and Innovation (R&I) pilots. The CoE will attract international expertise and investment, and act as a springboard for exporting Finnish-Estonian knowledge and high-tech solutions globally. In the long run, the CoE has full autonomy, financial sustainability and it will increase Estonian R&I funding by 2% annually with a strong spill-over to the real economy.
The CoE will have autonomous management, premises and 5 research streams producing the following KPIs by 2027:
·Estimated 100 research publications annually
·Estimated 150 Horizon 2020/FP9/ERC/Interreg/national submissions during the project period
·Estimated 25 local research and innovation partnerships
·Up to 15 Double degree PhD graduates annually
·The CoE will build knowledge transfer infrastructure, the UOP.Lab via:
· Estimated 100 unit innovation vouchers given out;
· Rent-a-PhD and Startup-in-Residence programmes applied to PhDs and companies
·Minimum of 10 cross-border R&I pilots
