Ritva Salminiitty (Turku AMK) selected as a Citizens Engagement Expert by SCC Lighthouse and Fellow Cities study


We are thrilled to share that Ritva Salminiitty from Turku University of Applied Sciences has been selected as a Citizens Engagement Expert by Scalable Cities Smart Cities Marketplace!

As part of a distinguished panel of three experts—including Dr. Wolfgang Loibl (Austria) and Dr. Hyekyung Imottessjo (Sweden)— Ritva Salminiitty will contribute to a crucial study on citizen engagement methods and tools applied in SCC Lighthouse Cities and Fellow Cities. The study covers 20 Smart Cities and Communities (SCC) projects funded by Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.

This initiative is part of a service contract led by the Scalable Cities Secretariat (SC Secretariat), with contracts issued by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, responsible for expert calls within the SC Secretariat consortium. The broader mission is to support the Smart Cities and Communities Lighthouse project group for the CINEA – European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency.

This work will play a vital role in advancing inclusive, citizen-driven smart city solutions across Europe!
