Description

This internship is part of the 4-year-long Blue City project from Innosuisse.
The Blue City Project is a transdisciplinary consortium aiming to map a city’s multi-layered, interconnected network of flows (traffic, waste, energy, …) and create a responsive Urban Digital Twin to assist evidence-based, collective decisions, and to improve urban well-being, sustainability, resilience, and maximize ecological value.

* Take over the prototype and security framework
* Analyze cross-organization use cases with our partner ecosystem
* Implement the selected use cases
* Extend and adapt the platform and security framework based on learnings
