Smart cities and communities information system.

In 2014, with the EU 2030 framework for climate and energy, the EU extended its 2020 commitments to more ambitious targets by 2030: — lower greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % in 2020 with respect to 1990 and by 40 % in 2030, — reach a share of renewables of 20 % by 2020 and at least 27 % by 2030, — increase energy efficiency levels by 20 % in 2020 and 27 % by 2030. Smart cities and communities projects in the 7th research framework programme and in Horizon 2020 are demonstrating technologies and integrated solutions to contribute to the 2030 targets by the replication of these solutions across the European Union. In continuation of the predecessor smart cities information system (SCIS) contract C2-2016-463, this present SCIS service contract is to provide expertise to monitor and analyse projects in the fields of smart cities and communities, disseminate lessons learned and issue recommendations.
