Recommended events Across society, greener ways of living are coming about and we are already aware of the need to shift to more sustainable ecosystems for our towns The CITyFiED project aims to address some of major chal enges facing urban districts and to do so it focuses on three broad and overlapping key areas: energy savings, integrated urban mobility, and ICT. It is an exciting prospect to seek out integrated responses to these issues and to pioneer a set of solutions that wil be adopted throughout Europe and beyond. Only a sound and skil ed consortium made up of leading organisations and business such as those represented within the CITyFiED consortium can deliver on this chal enging agenda. They include partners from RTD, industry and communication all working towards meeting the EU's objectives of creative and smart cities. To this we must add the municipalities and other public bodies involved in our endeavours. In fact, one of the key elements of our project is to set up a "cluster of cities" with close links to the consortium and designed to "get them cityfied" using the results and methodologies developed from our work. 11 cities are now part of the cluster, which is no mean feat as we are only six months into CITyFiED! You can find out more about who's who in this edition along with news from the our demonstration districts (Lund-Sweden, Soma-Turkey and Val adolid-Spain), and highlights from a very packed and eventful first progress meeting hosted by our partners in Lund. As with al demonstration projects, communication is paramount and so CITyFiED has a ful y functional website where you can find out al you need to know.

And so it is here that Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum steps in, drawing on its long track record in promoting RTD programmes and supporting cross-border technology transfer. The workshop, conducted by Teresa Puerta and Valerie Bahr, was a savvy mix of briefings and exercises for delegates. It threw the latter into the deep end of what exploitation actually entails both for themselves and others, and it enabled each person to get to grips with intellectual property issues and to better cater for the diversity of partners and their strategic positions within the project. The audience were introduced to the Business Model Canvas, a strategic management and operational tool used as a template for marketing and deployment. Merging this into their hands-on

Citizens living in near-zero energy districts will make significant savings and benefit from an increased comfort in their homes Transforming districts into near-zero energy consumption urban areas could be a reality in the next few decades. This is what the EU-funded Project CITyFiED aims to demonstrate by testing new approaches and improved business model, designed to ensure this solution is replicable around Europe.

Laguna de Duero (Valladolid), Spain, Lund, Sweden, and Soma, Turkey, are a set of cities, strategically located around Europe,
which represent a variety of demonstrative scenarios of city level refurbishment in terms of district and building typologies,
ownership models, district heating and cooling schemes and technological solutions for low voltage electricity distributed
generation. These cities will address a holistic intervention of district renovation, in line with the pillars of the project objectives
(large scale demonstration, maximization of the replication potential, development of innovative and cost effective methodologies,
dissemination). All of the main technological aspects (retrofitting of buildings, district heating facility and distributed low voltage
generation) will be addressed by means of a systemic approach in each city, in order to achieve significant energy savings, very low

As part of the CITyFiED project 11 cities have become what is known as the CITyFiED CityCluster; cities that will frequently partake in all the new methods and discoveries that will come out of the demo sites in Lund, Soma and Laguna. Through virtual modelling the cities will be first in line to see how the CITyFiED city district retrofitting approach could be applicable to their own cities and areas. Cities in the Cluster
"We believe that this way of working, where cities which are facing the same renovation chal enges as our demo sites can have speedy Botkyrka (Sweden) access to new methods and best practices, wil benefit both the project Värmdö (Sweden) and the cluster cities", says Work package leader and IVL project manager Jeanette Green. "Since each cluster city also participates in the projects Board of Representatives we wil have a natural flow of Ludwigshafen (Germany) feedback and insights from them going right back into the project, and vice versa", she continues. Valladolid (Spain) In order to widen the replication potential further the secretariat is now in the process of creating a Community of Interest. About 40 cities, Rovereto (Italy) facing the same renovation chal enges as the demo sites and the cluster cities wil be offered to partake in several technical study tours, workshops and webinars and thus receive access to the projects ful knowledge and expertise. Contacts are currently being taken in order to identify the cities that fit the replication potential of the project and that would be interested to be a part of the Community of Interest. Florence (Italy) The new City Secretariat has been set up, with the sole purpose of keeping the city cluster coordinated and informed on the latest progresses and methods. Each city wil be able to fol ow the process of the demo sites during the coming years through webinars, newsletters, ‘members' city space online, LinkedIn, workshops, virtual models and study tours, and thus be able to use any new knowledge and apply it to their own cities and areas. "The city set up, with three demo sites, eleven cluster cities and forty cities in the community of interest wil require the secretariat to act as both organizer, communicator, central point of contact and match maker between cities.

CITyFiED Community of Interest

For those towns, cities and municipalities looking to navigate
the complex systems of Smart Cities and find the most
efficient route to achieving near zero energy districts,
CITyFiED has the answer.
A select group of 40 cities and leading associations will be
invited to have direct access to innovative, tested and cost
effective methodologies and procedures for planning, deploying
and replicating energy efficient district retrofitting actions,
heating solutions and integrated electricity generation.
This high-level group will also be exposed to a vast array of soft
skills – exchanges of experience on partnerships, finance
and legal frameworks to enable more confident, cost
effective and time sensitive decision-making. Either through
peer-2-peer exchange with the three demonstration sites and
11 replication cities; a multitude of online learning opportunities,
webinars and study tours. It is a low-investment, high-impact
formula designed to facilitate your energy goals.
Finally, members of the Community of Interest will become
recognised actors leading European drive for smart cities
and energy transition. Considerable opportunities for
partnership building, media visibility and promotion to local,
national and European stakeholder groups are assured.
