Help define the future of Smart Communities 

The European-wide survey on skills for Smart Communities professionals has been launched as part of the SMARCO Project – Smart Communities Skills Blueprint for Resilient and Sustainable Cities, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme.

The goal of the survey is to gather insights from key stakeholders across Europe to identify:

  • The current skills in smart communities
  • The emerging needs of expertises and competences
  • The evolution of professional roles in this fast-developing field

The project also introduces and explores two new professional profiles:

  • Smart Community Resilience Engineer: responsible for designing, implementing, and managing systems and strategies that improve community resilience to physical, digital, and environmental risks.
  • Smart Community Resilient Solutions Planner/Procurer: identifies, designs, and coordinates the deployment of innovative, tech-driven solutions that strengthen community resilience.

Participation is anonymous, takes approximately 10–15 minutes, and the survey will remain open until 19 September 2025 (23:59 CEST).

The findings will support the development of future training programs and policy recommendations to build resilient, sustainable, and tech-enabled urban environments across Europe.

The survey is coordinated by Fondazione Piemonte Innova, and will be followed by one-to-one interviews and a final validation workshop involving key stakeholders.
