• Hanna Niemi-Hugaerts, Program Director IoT , Forum Virium Helsinki

• Davor Meersman, General Manager, OASC

10:15 - 12:00 Part I: City Data and Privacy (organised by FVH)

How should we make mydata, data privacy and data-enabled services happen in smart cities? What kind of technologies need to be developed, what kind of guidelines created? What does all this require from the citizens of the mydata era? How can we mitigate the possible risks related to this development? What kind of new means for collaboration between cities this calls for?

Panelists will share their experiences from working on these issues with cities and introduce their best practices and tools to the audience.

The panel is organised by Forum Virium Helsinki’s Select for Cities project that advances with open & GDPR ready Smart City IoE platform R&D through PCP.

Speakers:

• Joonas Pekkanen, ICT Development Director, Data administration services, The Culture and Leisure Sector, City of Helsinki

12:00 - 13:00 Lunch

13:00 - 14:00 Part II: Enabling the City (organised by OASC & EIT Digital)

The second part of the workshop gives an overview of how the so-called OASC Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms - a baseline set of standards and principles for smart cities - can contribute to innovation and procurement based on standards. As an example for standards-based innovations, the Cedus City Enabler will demonstrate how an open source data mining technology can help cities to detect and visualise data and mydata from public and private sources within the city.

Speakers:

• Davor Meersman, General Manager, OASC

• Marko Turpeinen, Node Director, EIT Digital Finland

• Lanfranco Marasso, Smart City Program Director, Engineering
  

• Demonstration of CEDUS City Enabler

14:30 - 15:00: Coffee Break

15:00 - 17:00: Part III: Workshop

How could MyData enable new services and encourage behavioural changes towards sustainable choices?

Currently there are a lot of apps that monitor our living from a certain angle: how many steps we take, how many kilometers did we ride a bike today, how many grams of CO² did our meal generate and so on. The data of our behaviour is stored in various places and we are not certain who owns it and how it will be used. Also, when there are so many apps for a single purpose, how do we get the big picture in what in our lifestyle would require attention in order for us to make more sustainable choices?

In this workshop we aim to break these siloes and take control of our data: How the data could enable new services to encourage meaningful behavioural changes towards sustainable choices.
