City of Rotterdam
Alderman Barbara Kathmann is vice-mayor of economy, districts and small localities: “Cities need to establish a strategy, build their analytics capacity, and work with partners, including academia, to establish a data commons that can benefit all.

Multidisciplinary teams participate in the training programmes and develop a concrete proof of concepts; it’s hands-on training.”
