The Programme in 2026
Day 2: Workshops
Day two of the event will consist of curated workshops to choose from for the participants. Ranging from testbeds in urban context, digitalization, climate-neutral cities, discussions about what's making innovation great. And that's just a small part of all the important topics that will be covered throughout the day. The key component to all the workshops is interaction and creating spaces for meaningful conversations and actions – not just listening to someone and then leave.
WORKSHOP

Smart Skills for Smart Communities
Smart city ambitions are accelerating — but are our organisations equipped with the right skills to deliver? Without the right competencies in procurement, planning and engineering, innovation stalls.
In this workshop, participants will engage directly with the proposed priorities, training pathways and partnership models. Your insights will form the further development of the Blueprint and its implementation across Europe.
WORKSHOP
HACK THE CLIMATE
Hack the Climate is an educational project using international cooperation and new technologies to fight climate change affecting cities. In this workshop they will showcase the methodology being used to solve important societal challenges, and present novel solutions from the four winning teams from Poland and Norway.
WORKSHOP

TESTBEDS IN URBAN CONTEXT
A common problem in Europe is the difficulty experienced when trying to establish testbeds, especially in public spaces. The goal for Urban Hub Europe has been to establish a best practice of Living Labs in urban context in Europe that they know want to share as part of this workshop.
