The European Innovation Partnership for Smart Cities and Communities (SCC EIP www.eu-smartcities.eu), takes care of energy management and transport management to come up with innovative solutions to the major environmental, societal and health challenges facing European cities today.Establishing strategic partnerships between European cities and industry, helping to coordinate existing city initiatives by pooling existing resources together, the EIP will foster the development of the urban systems and infrastructures of tomorrow. The major novelty of EIPs lies in looking not only at the R&D component but also at the policy tools available or needed to tackle the ‘demand side’ such as pooling of demand or a social innovation approach to involve stakeholders. Main goals:a) step up research and development efforts;b) coordinate investments in demonstration and pilots;c) anticipate and fast-track any necessary regulation and standards;d) mobilise ‘demand’ in particular through better coordinated public procurement to ensure that any breakthroughs are quickly brought to market.The Smart Cities Stakeholder Platform is the complementary body of the EIP and it works on a bottom-up philosophy. It is the collaborative, networking and knowledge sharing tool of EIP that advises the High Level Group to feed into the Strategic Implementation Plan and provides feedback to stakeholders.Learning from each other’s successes and the transfer of knowledge from supported cities is a one of the fundamental principles of the SCC EIP. Replication and knowledge exchange will be fostered through encouraging collaboration between geo-clusters i.e. cities of similar geography, climate, economic morphology and governance.Partners: Zabala Innovation Consulting; SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden; Prestomedia; Imperial College London; CEIT ALANOVA gemeinnützige GmbH; European Water Partnership a.i.s.b.l.
