Networking Event on Urban Digital Twins

As part of the NexTCity project, NOVA IMS will host the Networking Event on Urban Digital Twins on April 24.

This event is part of NexTCity at NOVA IMS: 5 Days on Urban Digital Twins, a five-day initiative that brings together three complementary activities focused on urban digital twins: a Summer School, a Thematic Workshop, and a Networking Event.

As the final activity of the program, the Networking Event on Urban Digital Twins will focus on fostering dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among researchers, local and regional authorities, industry representatives, and other relevant stakeholders.

The initiative aims to strengthen the connection between academic research and real-world urban challenges, while creating opportunities for collaboration around city digital twins and the development of what-if scenarios.
