D3.8 Guidelines for a data-driven CRFS management platform

This deliverable provides some guidelines to create a blockchain-based digital system (within WP6) and encompassing precise information on possible pathways considering sustainable CRFS developments.
In order to guide the development of the S2CP (Single-Click CRFS Platform) technological platform foreseen in the WP6 of the CITIES2030 project, in this task a work Focus Group is constituted whose objective is to guarantee the impact of said platform. In order to guarantee the impact, this task generates two different results. On the one hand, a set of recommendations regarding the functionalities and design that the platform should follow, and on the other hand, a set of indicators that should monitor the programming and implementation process of the different components, detecting whether they meet the expected impact or if improvement and correction actions are necessary.

Carrying out an exhaustive quantitative survey of both internal and external interested agents reported highly relevant information: (i) in general aspects on the use of information technologies by the different agents integrated in the CRFS, (ii) on specific issues of previously identified technologies (blockchain and artificial intelligence), (iii) on concerns detected in the initial questionnaire such as cybersecurity or data governance.
As a result of the work, the Focus Group proposed a set of up to 4 high-level functionalities and a framework of KPIs with 14 elements.
