Open Class: From Experimentation to Transformation: e-city

Join us on 18 February 2026 for an inspiring Open Class titled From Experimentation to Transformation: Strengthening Collaborative Pathways for Climate‑Neutral Innovation — e‑City. 

 

This hybrid event (on site and online) brings together innovators, researchers, policy actors and local stakeholders to explore how Seville’s vibrant ecosystem—powered by initiatives such as eCitySevilla, the Joint Research Centre’s Experimentation Journey, and the collective expertise of Ulysseus partners—can accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable, climate‑neutral urban future.

 

Participants will engage in an open dialogue and will dive into the project’s priority challenges and discover new opportunities to shape impactful, citizen‑centred transformation across the region.
