Through this project, two local communities, French and Hungarian, initiate a collaboration in sustainable development whose initial goal was to compile the pedagogical innovations related to the technological evolution of jobs in their respective regions and to evaluate the synergies in teaching, research and economic development in view of sharing the practices and methodologies in these fields in both of the territories. The exchanges that took place throughout the project allowed them to gather the most efficient ideas susceptible of evolving towards concrete accomplishments.In addition to two regional communities of Nîmes Métropole and the Department of Bàcs –Kiskun, the partners participating in this project are:-two senior high schools from each of these regions (Dhuoda Professional High School , Albert Camus General and Technical High School, Szeged Déri Miksa Professional Training School, Pilote SZTE Primary, Middle and High School),-two colleges and research institutes from each region (Nîmes Institute of Technology, Szeged University, Kecskemét Superior School),-two local associations working in informal educational activities for a large public and more specifically young generations (European House, Europe Direct Center of Nîmes, Natura Hungaria Foundation, Nîmes Métropole is in charge of the global coordination of the project.One of the expected results is to set up in each region a permanent network bringing together different participants in order to propose new training opportunities and development of technological innovations for the young.The main activities included:-the 4 transnational meeting (two in Nîmes and two in Hungary) after bringing together all the partners and developing exchanges in order to determine each one’s expectations and needs as well as to confront the various concepts and approaches.-the learning activities: 2 exchange sessions between senior high school teachers specifically oriented on teaching practices and the particularities of the French and Hungarian teaching systems.The main achievements of the project are:-an initial inventory of the initiatives developed by the partners in matters of sustainable development,-a review of research capacities in sustainable development in higher education institutions in order to identify future potential research collaboration,-the organization of a seminar of exchanges and reflection on the theme of innovation and innovative practices.-the organization of a public consultation in Nîmes on the theme of “Sustainable Development - New Jobs, New Skills”,-the organization in Hungary of awareness sessions concerning the issues of sustainable development.The final aim is to produce a guide of innovative practices in the context of sustainable development. This trilingual document (French, Hungarian, English) contains 27 files showing the most significant practices in matters of sustainable development and is available online on the sites of the participating institutions.Lastly, bilateral collaborations between the French and Hungarian partner schools begun with this project will be continued in the future.

An interconnected city grid of sensors, such as of cameras or environmental sensors, offers a wealth of actionable Big Data. In addition to better managing traffic and public transit, as well as controlling pollution, they can be used for enhanced policing, crowd control, and even public sentiment monitoring. However, such smart systems increase the risk of unethical use of personal data, and increase the attack surface of a city as multiple interconnected IT systems control key infrastructures such as transport, energy, water distribution, etc. To address the growing security and ethical threats on smart cities, the project will develop an integrated toolkit that covers the complete physical and cybersecurity value chain (detection, simulation & analysis, intervention). The project will enhance the resilience of cities in the face of security events in public spaces, by addressing three main aspects of urban security in smart cities: • Technologies: integrating and developing the tools and processes underlying the capacity of cities to manage both physical security and cyber security, leveraging the power of IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data analysis • Ethics: ensuring smart city capabilities are developed for the benefit of society, balancing potentially conflicting needs to collect, transform and share large amounts of data with the protection of data privacy • Processes: delivering a multi-tenant solution fully aligned with the operational needs of multiple city stakeholders (e.g. police, first responders, municipalities) supported by a framework gathering deployment guidelines and best practices The consortium includes 17 partners from 11 different EU Member States and Associated Countries, including 2 local government authorities (City of Padova and City of Oslo) that will lead the field trial implementations. The project will also be supported by a Community of Safe and Secure Cities (COSSEC) gathering other cities to provide feedback.
