SCORE

SCORE Partners

SCORE partner cities and organisations

SCORE is a collaborative project between 9 cities throughout the North Sea Region. The partner cities and their organizations each have experience in using shared data to ensure healthy urban development in the region.

The cities share responsibility areas, so-called Work Packages, in order to effectively cooperate on creating a smoothly running process:

Amsterdam

  • Gemeente Amsterdam (City of Amsterdam, Amsterdam):
    The city of Amsterdam is the lead partner and will share its knowledge and experience throughout the project period while actively stimulating and facilitating the other partners to contribute to the project. The city will also share all open source solutions previously developed for free with the other consortium partners.
  • Amsterdam Data Science, University of Amsterdam, (ADS):
    ADS is a network organisation bringing together 4 leading research institutes in Amsterdam; the University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Centrum, Wiskunde & Informatica. The role of the organisation is to leverage the wealth of tools that have been developed, to apply them to the challenges posed by the various cities and to improve them based on their evaluation. ADS is also pro-actively seeking new and innovative tools for city analytics and making them available to the city partners.

Hamburg

  • Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg): 
    Hamburg aims to become a digital lighthouse city in Germany and the EU. Political decisions were developed into strategies e.g. the ITS-strategy Hamburg Traffic 4.0. In the SCORE project, the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg is represented by the agency of roads, bridges and waters (LSBG - Landesbetrieb Straßen, Brücken und Gewässer), which applies its expertise in traffic and technical infrastructure, and the Agency for Geoinformation and Surveying (LGV – Landesbetrieb Geoinformation und Vermessung) which is developing and hosting the Urban Data Platform Hamburg to provide (open) data standardized, as well as near real-time information.
