Impacting residents with a lower SES in Jeruzalem, Amsterdam Oost

Matching great ideas with cheap loans

The Smart Citizens Lab helps people to explore tools and applications to map the world around us. Along with citizens, scientists, and designers, we deal with themes ranging from air quality to the conditions of bathing water to noise pollution.

Making Sense will show how open source software, open source hardware, digital maker practices and open design can be used by local communities to make sense of their environments.

Reducing loneliness by connecting seniors

Klup was finalist van de ASN Wereldprijs, voor een betere wereld van morgen.

Met Techniek&ik maken kinderen kennis met natuurwetenschap en techniek en ontwikkelen ze een positieve houding en langdurige interesse voor natuurwetenschap en techniek. En daar kun je niet vroeg genoeg mee beginnen. Kinderopvang is daarom dé plek om deze natuurlijke belangstelling op een speelse manier te stimuleren. Dit gaat verder op de basisschool; blijven stimuleren van interesse voor natuurwetenschap en techniek in relatie tot de kerndoelen Oriëntatie op jezelf en de wereld.
Twee belangrijke richtlijnen van het programma
• Co-constructie: kinderen leren in een sociaal proces door uitwisseling met en van anderen.
• Metacognitie: kinderen worden zich bewust van hun eigen leerproces en leermogelijkheden.

Waarom voor wetenschap en techniek?
• Draagt bij aan brede talentontwikkeling.
• Kinderen zijn sneller geneigd tot een opleiding of loopbaan in natuurwetenschap en techniek.

Wij zoeken partners in het bedrijfsleven die een bijdrage willen leveren aan Techniek&ik

The Amstelhuis functions both as a residential facility for senior citizens in Amsterdam and as an excellent practical environment for students, lecturers and researchers of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS).

> Next step: forms of housing for Turkish and Moroccan elderly people

On 21 March 2017, a policy meeting was held by Amstelhuis Cocon Vastgoed Zorg and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Central to this meeting was the subject “forms of housing for Turkish and Moroccan elderly people”.

Representatives of Cocon Vastgoed Zorg, professors and researchers from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and representatives from “Wijkadvies” (Community Advice) considered various forms of housing for these specific groups. This resulted in unique concepts and ideas, to serve as recommendations for Cocon Vastgoed Zorg:

• Create small housing units with 30 to 40 residents, two separate spaces for, respectively, Turkish and Moroccan seniors.
• Each space has a transitional space and a bridging function to the general and the public spaces.
• Relationships with children and grandchildren appear to be essential. Set up the space in such a manner that contact with family is possible and attractive.

We hope to jointly work out the ideas in further detail in the future.

The Green Living Lab is a living lab in a nature where education & research into healthy urban living takes place. We believe that every city could have a Green Living Lab, a place in nature where local universities, students & the public connect with entrepreneurs & pioneers in sustainable living to explore, experiment & to invest in a healthy sustainable society.

Creating an Age-Friendly Amsterdam, one grandparent at a time.

With the VITAMINE (Dutch for 'vitamin') project of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS), senior citizens are being further assisted in their pursuit of a fit lifestyle.

City-zen partners Westpoort Warmte and AEB have developed a plant which enables the use of cold from the adjacent river IJ for cooling of buildings in the Amsterdam Houthaven district.

City-zen was an international consortium, a program stimulating learning-by-doing in Grenoble and Amsterdam between March 2014 and November 2019. The results can be found in a booklet or in detailed reports. http://www.cityzen-smartcity.eu/home/reporting/deliverables/

Envisioning a healthy population of Amsterdam in 2025

Monetizing flexibility using a Virtual Power Plant, which incorporates solar-PV, load and home battery systems. It is not a real power plant but a virtual. Aggregating several small production units , like pv-rooftops, a power plant is created.

Smart Stories

Check the article about the Virtual Power Plant featured in our online magazine 'Smart Stories':

We are in the midst of the transition towards clean energy. The way we use, produce and trade energy is changing rapidly. In order to facilitate this transition, existing energy systems, of which the electrical grid is an essential component, need to be adapted and upgraded. Dutch grid operator Alliander is constantly working to make sure the grid remains efficient, reliable, safe, fast and cost effective.

Update October 2018:

The End-2-End smart grid in Amsterdam Nieuw West is connected to more than 10.000 dwellings. The End-2-End smart grid is fitted with sensors and/or remote controls on every voltage level – from the low voltage 400/230 V level to and including the high voltage 150kV level - enabling the DSO Liander to monitor and control loads and voltages. The first data from the monitoring equipment has been collected which provides insights into the robustness of the grid, now and in the future.

Conclusion measurements over the year 2017: the measurements indicates that the grid is very stable and no issues with grid stability are to be expected in the near future. The effects of experiments conducted with the Virtual Power Plant are expected to be clearly discernible in measurements on the low voltage level.

Some of the activities planned in 2018 and 2019:

• Demonstration and monitoring of the functionalities of the Virtual Power Plant and Vehicle-to-grid
• Four bidirectional charging stations are operational and 30+ home batteries are now actively trading on the day ahead market.
• Energy Tradingwiththe Virtual Power Plantand further develop the needed algorithms.
• Monitoring equipment and dashboard are developed.
• Determining the value of VPP and V2G for grid capacity and quality management and what the value is for alternatives to grid enforcement.
• Social research among the participants of the demonstration byworkshops, interviews and questionnaires.
• Further develop the grid control model.Continue improving the needed algorithms for monitoring and control purposes.

Foreseeing a future where cars, navigation systems, traffic lights and information signs are connected and automatically working.

City Alerts provides adequate information of relevant information (personal and non-personal) between emergency services during emergency incidents.

The website Amsterdam City Data and the website of Research, Information and Statistics (OIS) have been merged under the name Data en informatie (Data and information), with the url data.amsterdam.nl. The advantages of the merging are:

- topical data, statistics and research are coherently presented
- quick and new ways can be developed to make visual and interactive presentations of data and information

You will find data sources from researches which will be shown in the form of tables, factsheets, dashboards, animations and reports. As well as datasets and topical data from, among other sources, municipal records databases.
You can easily search for all these data and have them shown in a map, download them as a data set, or link them automatically to your own system via a so-called ‘web service’ or API.

The buttons in the green square on the user interface give access to maps, the panorama viewer and the data catalogue.

Under the moniker ‘In beeld’ (‘In pictures’) we present data and research results interactively and visually as animations, dashboards and data stories, among other formats.

The menu offers help while using these functionalities.

The data portal is for anyone who is looking for reliable and up-to-date information about the city. For Amsterdam’s public officials who want to make the right decisions and civil servants who want to work effectively. But also for civilians, researchers and journalists who are looking for facts. Data en informatie is openly accessible and data that is public can be freely used by anyone. Some of the data are available to authorized city employees only.

If you have any questions or remarks about Data en informatie please contact us through redactie.ois@amsterdam.nl.
