Ondřej Němčák from the UP Project Service, together with a team from the Department of Geoinformatics at the Faculty of Science, UP, led by Jaroslav Burian, took part in the final conference and project meeting in Venice for the international EnCLOD project – Enhancing Governance Capacities of Local Authorities using Open Data, funded by the Interreg Central Europe programme. The final conference at the Iuav University of Venice focused primarily on the use of open data for improved spatial planning and mobility. Jaroslav Burian spoke on behalf of Palacký University, presenting Olomouc’s experience with the use of sensor networks and data-driven tools for urban planning. The subsequent final meeting of the project partners focused on the completion of the project, its main results, the sustainability of the solutions developed, and the final reporting.

The EnCLOD project (Enhancing governance Capacities of local authorities using Open Data) focuses on promoting better public administration through open data obtained from standard IoT sensor networks in cities. The aim is to create an infrastructure for data collection and sharing that will enable the development of universal software tools and applications for spatial planning, resource management and sustainability. This approach, much like the standardisation of smartphones, supports the creation of accessible and portable digital solutions for various areas of public administration. The project is being carried out by a group of 10 partners; in the Czech Republic, these are Palacký University in Olomouc and the companies CityOne and CITIQ. The administrative and financial management of the project is handled by staff at the UP Project Service.
