Are you passionate about research? So are we Come and join us:

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.

As Innovation Partner
in the BEPROACT and Twin4Resilience projects, LIST plays a (i) transversal role to foster the adoption of data-driven decision making, by providing and developing expertise on: the digital transition, data ecosystem orchestration, and the design and implementation of data spaces and Local Digital Twins (LDT) and a (ii) local/national role as core stakeholder in the Luxembourg innovation ecosystem, collaborating with other partners form Luxembourg in the co-design and the implementation of pilots.

These Interreg NWE initiatives share a common goal: fostering datadriven decisionmaking for critical infrastructure management and smart cities. These projects involve local, regional and national authorities, innovation players, and private companies.

How will you contribute?:

Through privileged access to real business cases, ecosystems, challenges and data, your objective will be to identify the requirements and barriers for data sharing and governance (through the data spaces approach), and to conceptualise the enabling ecosystem for the adoption of datadriven decision making (through the digital twins/AI approach).
You will work collaboratively with practitioners and a team combining technical and applied research expertise in digital transformation, data science, pilots' development and systems architecture.

Key tasks and responsibilities:

Ecosystem orchestration: In pilots, support the stakeholders in identifying roles and responsibilities of actors in the setup of data ecosystem(s), as well as relevant data flows for the entire LDT/data spaces lifecycle. Assist pilots in mapping data types and flows, data access and sharing requirements and develop data governance models.
Value creation: Ensure that the pilots business cases are pertinent and contribute to value addition, and therefore also adoption of data spaces and/or digital twins.
Adoption barriers: Identify incentives for different actors to participate in data spaces, and address barriers to data sharing and reuse. Understand stakeholder resistance and develop strategies for the adoption of datadriven approaches (including Digital Twins).
Data Governance Schema: Conceptualize concrete approaches for the scoping and prioritization of the needs for exploiting data in the context of smart cities and predictive infrastructure maintenance.
Knowledge Hub: Contribute to maintaining a stateoftheart on data spaces and data governance topics, with a special interest on the ongoing initiatives implementing European Common Data spaces. Collect best practices, case studies, and lessons learned related to LDTs development, deployment and adoption.
LDT

Maturity Matrix:

Contribute to the creation of a comprehensive LDT Maturity Matrix, evaluating the enabling data ecosystems for sustainable local digital twins across partner cities, or the adoption of data-driven decision-making by infrastructure managers.

Digital skilling and upskilling of the ecosystem: Identify gaps in terms of missing capacity or skills regarding the adoption of datadriven decisionmaking, with a special focus on the public sector, and smart communities.
Sustainability and Scalability: Assess the longterm sustainability and scalability of datadriven solutions, considering resource constraints and diverse operational contexts.
Contribute to dissemination activities: research publications, public outreach communication, practitioners oriented communications.
