Presentation by Dr. Christoph Peters at the Smart Service City status meeting

On Tuesday, January 22, 2019, Dr. Christoph Peters, research group and project leader at the Department of Information Systems (Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister) at the University of Kassel, together with Mr. Dian Balta from fortiss GmbH, gave a presentation on the Civitas Digitalis project at the Smart Service City status meeting at the Research Center for Information Technology (FZI) in Karlsruhe.

The Civitas Digitalis project aims to promote the development of new services for the Smart Service City of the future in the cities of Hamburg and Kassel and to increase the quality of life of citizens and the cooperation of civil society, economic and municipal actors for socially beneficial service innovations through civic participation in urban development. The aim is to involve them as active co-creators of services.

The aim of the project is to create digital and crowd-based service systems to create sustainable and liveable living spaces.

The focus of the University of Kassel is on actively involving citizens as experts in their everyday lives. The platform "Wake up the Hercules in you" offers the citizens of Kassel an opportunity to contribute their ideas in a lightweight way. Particularly noteworthy is the multimedia, seamless approach, which enables citizens to systematically develop and present their solutions into a well thought-out service solution.
