Schools – Czech Smart City Cluster

Partnerships of academic entities

We see involving academic partners in developing the Smart City concept in the Czech Republic as one of the priorities of the CSCC. We develop opportunities for cooperating on Smart City projects of participating cities and support proactive cooperation with technological partners on research and development projects and activities.

The role of academic partners is key to maintaining the innovation and high quality of the resulting solutions, the openness of the concepts offered and the long-term sustainability of the technological development of smart solutions in the Czech Republic. Thanks to the wide representation of academic members, CSCC activities cover a wide range of applications not only in the field of technology, but also urban planning, architecture, social sciences, law and the media.

We invite all academic partners to actively cooperate and join the Smart City development initiative. Academic membership in the CSCC is free.
