Recruitment of experts for the global smart cities initiative

Online recruitment of experts for the global initiative United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC), coordinated by ITU at the UN, has begun.

International Telecommunications Union (ITU) announces on its website an invitation for persons interested in submitting an application as part of the recruitment of experts for the global initiative United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC).

Due to the fact that development of smart cities requires intelligent communication, transport and energy infrastructure, under the U4SSC initiative it is planned to involve new experts to develop the work of thematic groups. The offer for each group specifies key information and how people with relevant expertise such as city planners, engineers, designers, scientists, sociologists, geographers, government officials, researchers or other interested in the subject of smart cities and sustainable urban development can contribute to global discussion and development of standards.

The leaflet on the website contains a registration link for each thematic group. Persons interested in submitting the application should register and create their own profile by March 31, 2020.
