MARVEL 3rd INFO Day
A Unique opportunity to learn more about how MARVEL can help your city to achieve its goals
The MARVEL 3rd Info Day webinar will take place on December 4, 2023, at 13:00 – 15:00 CET.
MARVEL – Multimodal Extreme Scale Data Analytics for Smart Cities Environments – is an EU H2020 funded project that aims to develop a disruptive Edge-to-Fog-to-Cloud ubiquitous computing framework to enable multimodal perception and intelligence for audio-visual scene recognition, event detection, and situational awareness in a Smart City Environment.
The event aims to present the main achievements reached at the end of the MARVEL project while revealing the added value of the MARVEL solution and demonstrating it in action when applied to use cases in Malta, Trento, and Novi Sad.
The MARVEL Consortium invites representatives from Smart Cities that are interested in learning about possibilities for implementing and adopting the MARVEL solution. Through this event, we seek suggestions and ideas from Smart Cities to make MARVEL progress even further. The event is also open to representatives from other public authorities, as well as Traffic Managers, Law Enforcement Agencies, data scientists, engineers, architects, technical project managers, and other parties interested in Smart City technologies, products, and services.
This event is co-organised by Netcompany-Intrasoft and ITML, on behalf of the MARVEL Consortium and under the auspices of the European Commission. It is a great opportunity to network with other Smart City professionals and learn more about how MARVEL can help your city to achieve its goals.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the MARVEL 3rd Info Day and collecting your feedback in an effort to evolve our project and produce results that can effectively serve the needs of Smart Cities and fulfil our vision of improving the citizens’ quality of life.
