University of Bradford academics work to transform city services across Europe

    Researchers at the University of Bradford are working with nine cities across Europe to help them save up to €50m by using ‘smart’ technologies to improve the delivery of public services.

    The five-year Smart Cities and Open Data Re-use (SCORE) project sees the University of Bradford working alongside the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands and Aarhus University in Denmark to develop innovative ideas including interactive dustbins that can sense when they are full, intelligent car parks that can highlight empty spaces and real-time flood-warning information data that could save lives.

    These ideas will be trialled and potentially implemented in cities across Europe, including Ghent, Hamburg and Bradford.
