The Governing Board has approved this morning the participation of the City of Murcia in the network MySMARTLife Cities Network, within the framework of the European Project My SmartLife of the 'Horizon 2020 Program' that will lead the Department of Urbanism, Environment and Garden, led by Antonio Navarrese.

The participation of Murcia in this network will last until November 2021.

The mySMARTLife project has received funding from the 'Horizon 2020' Program of the European Union.

This project develops an Innovative Urban Transformation Strategy, tackling tailored solutions using ICT, in the energy and mobility sectors at the district-city scale, together with other non-technical ones to support this transformation.

More than 150 actions will be implemented in the cities of Nantes (France), Hamburg (Germany) and Helsinki (Finland), which include smart buildings, smart grids, energy storage, electric vehicles, intelligent charging infrastructures and mobility services.

To guarantee a broad replication of this initiative, the mySMARTLife project uses a methodology based on the existing cooperation between cities and interested communities, which includes the so-called mySMARTLife Cities Network.

This network is configured by 16 additional cities that have exclusive access to the results of the mySMARTLife project, as well as the opportunity to learn from the experience of mySMARTLife partners.

The city of Murcia has been selected as one of the 16 cities that will be part of this network, and thus be able to benefit from the lessons learned during the development of the project.

The global objectives of the mySMARTLife Project can be specified in:

• Build sustainable cities with smart citizens and smart economy.

• Create cities that are more friendly to the environment.

• Reduce CO ₂ emissions.

• Use renewable energy sources.

• Involve citizens in the process of transforming cities.

• Increase the digitization level of cities.

• Implement more than 150 actions in the areas of energy, mobility and ICT in three lighthouse cities of Nantes, Hamburg and Helsinki.

• Share experiences with cities in Europe and other continents through the mySMARTLife Cities Network.

For its part, the commitments of the City of Murcia are:

• Attend the workshops organized one in each of the three cities of the demonstration sites during the course of the project

• Participate in mySMARTLife Cities Network web meetings for the purpose of collecting and disseminating data.

• Carry out local dissemination activities

• Provide technical and other non-technological data for the study of a local district / district of evaluation, as part of the evaluation of its replication potential and the development of a virtual retrofit model

Navarro Corchón has stated that "this participation in the mySMARTLife Cities Network will make it possible to exchange experiences with mySMARTLife Lighthouse cities and Follower cities, another benefit will be to participate in 3 workshops on technical and non-technical issues, free access to 7 seminars web about relevant issues for the replication of the implemented solutions and a privileged access to the results of the project such as retrofit methodologies, integration of smart buildings at district level, smart grids, energy storage, electric vehicles and intelligent recharging infrastructures and much more through specialized information channels (websites, discussion forum and a dedicated newsletter) ".
