Abstract: The subject of smart cities is highly discussed topic not only in the domain-specific mobility, energy and
ICT circles but also in the educational and research-related fields. The questions are arising along with the
broader acceptance of smart cities by general public. What are the required crucial competence fields for
future smart cities specialists? Are the existing study programs able to cover demand for smart cities
education? What are the career prospects for future smart cities specialists? The European Academic Smart
Cities Network is aiming to build up competence in the area of smart cities education, to establish an
academic network in Austria and to expand the training opportunities at the University of Applied Sciences
Technikum Wien with smart cities tailored Bachelor and Master study programs. This paper summarizes the
status quo of the project activities and describes exemplary integration of the proposed educational
programs based on practice- and professional field-oriented, diversity-fair approach. Starting with the
relevant smart cities national strategies, the project proposes cross-departmental integration of smart cities
into existing activities. The proposed approach may serve as a base for further development of smart cities
specific educational opportunities at university level. Finally, a conclusion of the paper is presented in
section 5.
1 CURRENT SMART CITIES
TRENDS
To maintain urban high quality of living against the
background of restricting conditions, it is necessary
to strive for constant self-analysis and the
development of new and innovative solutions.
Cities in Austria are constantly evolving and
need to reinvent themselves continuously, especially
due to drastically changing climate and increasing
scarce of resources. This fact calls for novel global
approaches. Since the end of 2010, the Austrian
Climate and Energy Fund and the Federal Ministry
of Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT)
have supported the development of strategies,
technologies, and solutions to support cities and
their residents in their transition to an energy-
efficient and climate-friendly way of life. Common
objectives of these strategies are the improvement of
the quality of life and the positioning of Austria as
an attractive business location.
While since 2010 the Smart City initiative has
been focusing on the support of comprehensive
urban demonstration and implementation projects in
their calls for proposals, the BMVIT’s technology
program “City of the Future” is striving for the
development of new technologies, subsystems and
urban services in the modern cities (Climate and
Energy Fund, 2011). Furthermore, in 2014, the City
of Vienna has launched an extensive the Smart City
Wien framework strategy (Stadt Wien,
Magistratabteilung 18 - Stadtentwicklung und
Stadtplanung , 2014).
The considered time horizons have been
extended to 2050, since the necessary and often
fundamental changes in the fields of energy,
mobility or construction require cost and time
consuming processes. The goals of the framework
have been specified in a long procedure with several
executive policy groups, as well as numerous
experts. Apart from the national evaluation an
intense exchange of experience has taken place with
other European cities that likewise aspire to meet
smart city goals.
The Smart City Wien framework strategy is

directed at diverse target groups of the city,
including Vienna’s citizens, enterprises, non-profit
institutions, and, finally, the public sector itself. The
strategy and derived actions are expected to deploy a
strong external effect to position Vienna as a
responsible and impulse-generating metropolis in
Europe. (Stadt Wien, Magistratabteilung 18 -
Stadtentwicklung und Stadtplanung , 2014).
2 EU-ASCIN GOALS
The European Academic Smart Cities Network (EU-
ASCIN) project, founded by the municipal
government of the City of Vienna, is an initial
attempt to integrate smart cities topic into
educational programs at the University of Applied
Sciences (UAS) Technikum Wien. Furthermore, the
project supports the existing Smart City Wien
framework strategy in education and training fields
of action. Along with the technology-oriented goals
Smart City Wien framework defines equal
opportunities in education, lifelong learning and
social awareness as the crucial basis for the
successful smart cities integration (Stadt Wien,
Magistratabteilung 18 - Stadtentwicklung und
Stadtplanung , 2014).
EU-ASCIN project provides a solid foundation
for smart cities deployment through setting up of the
academic network, enhancement of the existing
study programs with the smart cities emphasis and
design of the new study programs.
The implementation of the project goals takes
place in three interacting tracks, addressing
independent target groups, see figure 1.
Figure 1: EU-ASCIN goals.
The broader public is addressed by education and
communication platform, providing open source
courses in smart cities related topics, as well as
information on current events and citizen
participation possibilities. Qualified decision
makers are planned to be addressed by an
international post-graduate program. Finally
prospective smart cities specialists are addressed by
currently developed Bachelor’s and Master’s
programs (Bululukova and Wahl, 2015).
3 EU-ASCIN RESULTS
The previous research and planning of the EU-
ASCIN project provided an extensive base for the
follow up implementation steps (Bululukova and
Wahl, 2015).
Hereinafter, a status update for the EU-ASCIN
activities, as well the most significant project
insights are described. The main achievements
within project are the summer school, held in
summer 2015, smart cities specialization integrated
within the existing Bachelor study programs and the
smart cities Master program currently being
elaborated.
All activities within the project are accompanied
by the gender and diversity screening. The
development of the study program is based on the
occupational research performed to specify the
professional focus of the master program.
3.1 EU-ASCIN Summer School
The international exchange of knowledge is an
important part of the EU-ASCIN project. Several
summer schools have been already held in
cooperation with the UAS Ulm, Slovak Technical
University Bratislava, Széchenyi István University,
Obuda University, and Budapest University of
Technology and Economics in different smart cities
related areas (Danube Universities, 2013). The 4th
summer school Green Waves with an emphasis on
smart cities along the Danube was held in June
2015. The initial session for this summer school was
held in Vienna at the UAS Technikum Wien,
presenting the smart city Vienna framework
strategy, followed by a podium discussion with
representatives from industry, government and
academia. Afterwards, participants got the
possibility to visit Urban Lakeside Aspern smart city
project.
Vienna's Urban Lakeside, is Austria's largest
construction site and urban development project
with over 20 departments of the Vienna city
administration involved. The development of the
Urban Lakeside is more than the urban city planning

project, but rather building city within a city with the
main goal to transform Aspern into an urban centre
with international profile. The construction takes
place in several phases over the next 20 years on the
area equivalent to 340 football pitches, providing
high-quality living environment for 20,000 people
and same number of workplaces. The main goals of
the project involve flagship activities for further
urban development, implementation of outstanding
building performance according to the EU directive
on energy efficiency and use of energy-producing
renewable energy technologies. (Aspern
Development AG, 2015).
The second day Bachelor and Master students
got the possibility to present their research and
project results to all attendees followed by
laboratory visit of UAS Technikum Wien.
Finally, an excursion to Gyor has been
organised, for on-site visit of smart city related
developments. The trip continued by visits of the
TU-Budapest and Obuda University. Firstly, smart
city activities in Hungary and the smart city related
research from the participants was presented. The
summer school was concluded with an on-site visit
of energy-efficiency projects in Obuda residential
area and intelligent lighting pilot test site.
On one hand, the summer school offered
students great opportunity to gain insight into smart
cities activities on international level. On the other
hand, it is a big opportunity for students to
benchmark their projects and knowledge in an
international context.
3.2 Integration into Existing Bachelor
Programs
The starting point to raise awareness of smart cities
topic at the UAS Technikum Wien is the extension
of the existing related Bachelor study programs.
Students have the possibility to get acquainted with
the general smart cities topics to be able to choose
related Master courses. This chapter sums up the
accomplished integration of smart cities subject into
the Bachelor degree programs Transport and
Environment” as well as “Urban Renewable Energy
Technology” at the UAS Technikum Wien.
The concept of the smart cities integration is
intentionally focused three smart cities domains:
smart mobility, smart energy, and ICT, with the goal
to more deeply understand the interconnection of
these areas. Individual domains have been analysed
and specified within the initial research steps of the
EU-ASCIN project (Bululukova, et al., 2014).
3.2.1 Smart Cities in Transport &
Environment
The integration of the smart cities topics into
existing Transport and Environment Bachelor
Program is implemented as a one of 4 selectable
specializations, which include Smart Cities,
Intelligent Transport Systems, Electric Vehicles and
Transportation Planning. While the other three
specializations are covering more transportation
domain specific topics, smart cities specialization is
the first attempt to provide interconnected training
courses, see table 1.
The specialization has been elaborated
considering the requirements of Smart City Wien
Framework Strategy goals and the observed
educational gap in the interdisciplinary education
(Wahl, et al., 2014).

Bachelor’s degree program is the interface between
energy technology, technical building systems, and
plant construction. Within the 4th or 5th semester of
the program, three specialization tracks Building
Energy Design, Large-Scale Plants and Integrated
Energy Technologies are already offered. Starting in
2015, a new Smart Cities specialization track has
been introduced.
The specialization starts in the 4th semester with
such topics as integrated design of urban
technological energy projects (energy, buildings,
networks), design options (architecture in urban
areas) and the user behaviour (diversity). The
specialization of the 5th semester provides more
complex insight into technological concepts,
geographical aspects area and regional, urban
administrative frameworks. The course is designed
as hands on project work with the main goal to
introduce an integrated planning process for a small
smart city projects, for instance a building
refurbishment in urban areas. The project
implementation involves usage of specific
simulation software. The project gains additional
benefits through the integration of interdisciplinary
teams. This course rated with 15 ECTS points for
both semesters (6 ECTS in 4th and 9 ECTS in 5th
semester).
3.3 Development of a Smart Cities
Master Program
The main step planned for smart cities dissemination
at the UAS Technikum is the elaboration of an
inherent smart cities Master’s degree program. Prior
to development of the explicit curriculum, a
feasibility study for education demand and skills
analysis has been performed. The demand analysis
considers future employment prospects of the
graduates based on relevant studies and secondary
statistical data analysis. Additionally, the study
includes interviews with fifteen experts from the
smart cities relevant companies and organizations.
Furthermore, the acceptance analysis evaluated
several study programs with certain degree of
coherence to the planned Master’s degree program,
to estimate the number of future potential applicants.
The planned curriculum for the new program is
strongly compliant with the general educational
strategy of the UAS Technikum Wien, which is
divided into three main areas of expertise: technical,
economic and social skills education.
The technical skills within the new Master
curriculum are subdivided, on one hand into
introductory compensation modules for students
with few to no smart cities background and on the
other hand mandatory or selectable smart cities
specific skills. To improve the interdisciplinary
approach, the master program offers student the
possibility to deepen their knowledge in hands-on
project work. The economic and social skills courses
are supporting the implementation, innovation with
national and international trends and business
models.
The general curriculum is built up as follows, see
table 2.

Since the main goal of the master study program
is to diversify student groups, it is important to
guarantee equal chances for students with various
backgrounds by providing introductory courses in
the main topics of smart cities. The smart cities
domain basics include the core areas, such as
transportation planning, urban energy supply, IT
networks, and data management fundamentals.
The mandatory courses such as urban mobility,
smart cities frameworks, urban renewable energy
systems, urban planning, data analysis, statistics, and
business models, provide a very broad and
interconnected insight into smart cities specific
domains and introduce necessary tools for future
smart cities specialists as decision makers.
Apart from the mandatory courses, students get
the possibility to choose one specific elective track
each semester. Currently, selectable topics cover
extensive areas of smart cities, see table 3, to be
extended for future needs.

3.4 Occupation Research
An important integrative part of the EU-ASCIN
project is the professional field research of the smart
cities. Internal and external specialists have been
consulted, such as the City of Vienna endowed
professorship for occupation research at the UAS
Technikum Wien, as well as an external consultant
agency. The main goal of this analysis is to clearly
define the prospective job profiles.
The first step in the evaluation of the relevant
competences includes clarification and delimitation
of the concerned domains. The smart cities
definition used in the EU-ASCIN project
summarizes smart cities as development and
implementation of IT-based and integrated city
solutions with the main goal to achieve a sustainable
urban development in the mobility and renewable
energy domains.
As the results of the evaluation following main
sectors for potential employment of the smart cities
graduates could be identified:
1. Infrastructure, such as energy supply,
transportation and logistics, ICT,
environment and waste management
2. Management and planning, such as city
administration and management, public
safety, urban planning and building
management
3. Industry, such as technology in mobility,
energy and ICT domains
4. Services, such as R&D, education and
consulting
Based on the identified employment sectors, the
requirements on the educational program could be
elaborated. The graduates of this master program are
characterised by their ability to design and
implement holistic city development projects, based
on socio-technical constraints. This includes skills
and competences in project and process management
for development of urban infrastructures, social
system analysis for cooperative and cross-domain
support of urban stakeholders and technological
assessment.
The design of the new smart city master program
started with the definition of the required learning
outcomes, and in particular what graduates are
expected to be able to perform upon successful
completion. In the area of smart cities professional
skills students should be able:
To assess and to manage urban traffic
To design and asses energy-efficient supply
infrastructures
To design secure smart cities
To integrate various data sources
To elaborate holistic approaches for urban
areas
To implement cross-domain simulations
and scenarios
To develop new business models in cross-
domain filed of mobility, energy and ICT
Apart from the technology specific knowledge and
skills students must be able to perform tasks in the
personal and social-technological field:
To identify and analyse all affected user
groups for urban solutions
To cooperate and communicate with
technical and non-technical diversified
stakeholders
To asses technological solutions in terms of
Smart Cities Education as Mobility, Energy & ICT Hub
121
their social impact
The external research of the occupation demand
has shown similar to the internal analysis results.
Regarding the qualifications of the prospective
graduates of the Master’s program, the interviewed
experts emphasized among other qualifications, the
technical fundamentals in all areas of smart cities,
but in particular in mobility, spatial and
transportation planning, renewable energy, modern
buildings and ICT. Furthermore the strong demand
for competence in sociology, socio-demographics
and policy frameworks has been identified.
The result of the external evaluation has assessed
the employment situation for future graduates based
on the quantitative surveys as very promising. The
employment number in the relevant economic
sectors, both in Austria an in Vienna in particular,
have shown slightly increased shares in the past five
years. The unemployment rates of the graduates in
coherent UAS degree programs have shown
comparably low numbers (Mertens and Schwenk,
2015).
3.5 Gender & Diversity
The European Commission convened an expert
group “Innovation through Gender” in February
2011 (European Commission, 2013) to support
dissemination of the gender topics in EU research.
In March 2013, the UAS Technikum Wien
joined this initiative and defined Gender and
Diversity guidelines for research and education. The
guidelines, in particular, apply to the Smart City
activities at the UAS Technikum Wien (UAS
Technikum Wien, 2015).
At initial steps of the EU-ASCIN project all
cooperation partners have been encouraged to
participate in a gender and diversity workshop to
discuss this topic in a smart city context. The project
team itself shows a high diversity level in terms of
language, culture and educational background.
The deliverables and the documents of the
project are continuously screened according the
Gender Mainstreaming Tool (GeM) developed at the
UAS Technikum Wien. The GeM is composed of
four steps: analysis, goal definition, realization and
evaluation.
Within the framework of the project the
educational course on socio-technical aspects of
smart cities has been held for the first time in the
Bachelor's degree Transport and Environment. The
course was organized by the board member of
Women in Mobility & Energy, Environment
Network) (WIMEN) (WIMEN, 2015). WIMEN is
an independent, non-political network of associates
who use this forum for professional exchange in the
field of their expertise. WIMEN focuses on the areas
of mobility, energy, ecology and public space.
The eight students obtained an introduction to
the topics of society and technology with special
attention to gender and diversity issues.
3.6 Student Activities
The Smart City Wien Framework strategy has set
the goal for steady reduction of resource
consumption within the city boarders, the
preservation of the quality of life and progress in the
innovative field by 2050 (Stadt Wien,
Magistratabteilung 18 - Stadtentwicklung und
Stadtplanung , 2014). The area of resource
conservation refers to the upgrading and
rehabilitation of the urban housing. In the course of
the smart cities specialisation, students got the
possibility to take part in elaborating and design of
an exemplary refurbishment project. The hands on
project included development of a restructuring plan
for renewable energy power supply, facade
optimization, building automatization technology,
quality of habitat and heating / cooling technology in
connection with verification processes. The design
was performed based on energy performance
certificates and ecological balance sheets.
Students have been divided into four working
groups, each dealing with the own independent tasks
e.g. ventilation, heating, cooling, and daylight-use
concepts. The second part of the project aimed to
create two different heating and ventilation system
options and to evaluate and review their efficiency.
The work focused on the technical design and the
energy efficiency assessment. The third part had the
target to determine whether the restructuring was
ecologically worthwhile, while ignoring the
investment cost.
4 PROSPECTIVE
COOPERATION AND
ACTIVITIES
Since the EU-ASCIN Project has not been
completed so far, several steps are still in progress,
such as planned smart cities conference, ongoing
development in smart cities competence teams, as
well as, planned endowed professorship. This
chapter sums up the activities and implementation
steps planned within final project year.
SMARTGREENS 2016 - 5th International Conference on Smart Cities and Green ICT Systems
122
4.1 Smart Cities Conference
In several past years, more and more conferences in
the thematic section of smart cities have been
organized. The aim of the most events is to bring
together researchers, designers, developers,
government, industry and practitioners interested in
the advances and applications in the field of smart
cities, green information and communication
technologies, sustainability, energy aware systems
and Technologies.
In contrast to the existing conferences, the EU-
ASCIN smart city conference has the target to bring
the academic community from Austria and Europe
together. The two days lasting conference will be
supported by City of Vienna and will take place at
the Vienna City Hall in autumn 2016. The UAS
Technikum Wien takes over the scientific leader of
the conference.
The participating experts have background in
infrastructure, urban planning, mobility, energy,
socio-economic social implications, ICT, and
usability. The conference will be completed by an
on-site visit to the Aspern Vienna's Urban Lakeside.
4.1 Smart Cities Competence Team
Building up on the internationalization, networking,
and know-how objectives of the EU-ASCIN project
a subsequent activities for smart cities development
has been planned and implemented.
On one hand, based on the long-term contact
with the UAS Ulm (Germany) as well as existing
network of Danube universities, a joint research
activities followed by a joint smart city study
program are currently being evaluated.
To be able to internally cover the increasing
demand for smart cities specific courses an
application for the own smart cities competence
team has been submitted and successfully founded
by the municipal government of the City of Vienna.
The main objective of the competence team for
Intelligent Technologies in Smart Cities (KiTSmart)
is to develop smart cities related courses and support
scientific dissemination in the research community
(UAS Technikum Wien, 2016).
4.2 Endowed Professorship
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
(EPBD) requires all new buildings to be nearly zero-
energy by the end of 2020 (EPBD, 2014). Therefore,
a fundamental re-orientation of teaching in the area
of buildings and building blocks is required. UAS
Technikum Wien is ready to meet this challenge and
engages an endowed professorship exclusive for this
topic. The aim is to implement new teaching
methods for building and building blocks in the
current Master’s and Bachelor’s degree programs.
Apart from the renewable power supply, the task
of the endowed professorship is to develop
competence within the area of building
sustainability, i.e. usage of sustained materials,
comfort, healthy and ecological buildings. In
addition, the user’s behaviour and diversity are the
main focus, which is not yet integrated in daily
building planning process.
5 CONCLUSIONS
The EU-ASCIN project proposes integration of the
smart cities, taking into account requirements of the
relevant regional and EU wide framework strategies,
in particular, Smart City Vienna framework strategy.
This paper sums up current status quo of the project
with already accomplished milestones, including
integration of smart cities into Bachelor’s programs
and development of an independent smart cities
oriented Master’s program.
Furthermore, the paper provides deeper insight
into design process and motivation behind the
development of the first smart cities specific
practice-oriented education at UAS Technikum
Wien. Detailed insights into occupation research, as
well as gender and diversity sensitive topics are
provided.
The proposed approach provides an extensive
base for general design of modern study programs,
which may be onward re-used, independent from the
specific domain of smart cities. The experiences
made within the project should offer more practical
support for smart cities dissemination in academic
and R&D fields.
