BRIDE - A Smart Bridge

Responsible Urban Digitalization

An interactive bridge that is equipped with sensory technology will help understand Amsterdam’s “cityness” better. Citizens can make the bridge their own and answer this big philosophical question by collecting data about activity, place and time.

Societal Value of Smart Energy Systems

Urban Energy

Smart energy systems enable the transition to more sustainable solutions yet stakeholders and end users have concerns around privacy, reliability, and security. This project delivered recommendations on how to best design pilot projects.

Project

Schools as energy-embassy

Urban Energy

The transition to cleaner, more efficient energy systems is not yet going fast enough. Can schools function as energy-ambassies to speed up this process?
