[PROJECT], [RESEARCH] 

The Smart Region Central Switzerland at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) is forming a think tank for Central Switzerland, enabling co-creation based on digital tools. In contrast to most smart city projects, the focus in this case is on small and mid-sized cities as well as on rural and alpine regions. In interdisciplinary research projects, these topics are intertwined with global issues in the fields of mobility, spatial and energy development, creative industries and infrastructure projects to explore local processes and impacts.
 
A core element of this strategic project is the Smart Region Lab. At the center of the lab are digital data tables (RegionScopes) which are being developed in close cooperation with the CityScienceLab at Hafencity University Hamburg. They visualize information from spatio-temporal data sets and model future scenarios. As an essential part of cooperative workshops with multiple stakeholders, they support knowledge generation and data-based discourse on site. Thus, they enable stakeholders from politics, business and civil society to make informed decisions and contribute to a smart, collaborative and sustainable development of the region.
 
The Smart Region Central Switzerland is complemented by the close cooperation of the HSLU at government level and a high-profile platform that bundles the digital projects of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. These interlocking components seek to promote Central Switzerland as a role model for smart regional development.
