Smart Cities Information System is a continuation of the CONCERTO series of projects that started back in 2005. SCIS aims to bring together like-minded interests and individuals to encourage knowledge sharing and greater collaboration in the goal of enhancing energy efficiency and energy security, reducing CO2 emissions, and increasing the share of renewable energy.To reflect the growing importance of innovation in urban planning initiatives, the new SCIS also focuses on the energy dimension of ICT and transport that already includes city buildings, building clusters and city districts.
