A hybrid approach

This innovative, interactive training program combines theoretical scientific and academic content in asynchronous mode with practical application in face-to-face sessions.

A few hours' work beforehand..

Before each training day, participants will have to see for themselves the material and resources made available to them: readings, video capsules, preparations, etc. for around 2 to 3 hours of work per week.
This initial theoretical part is essential to prepare for the face-to-face days, entirely dedicated to exchanges and practical input.

... 5 days of face-to-face training in 8 modules (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) with :

• High-quality practical input from academic trainers andspeakers from the field,
• Case studies, collective intelligence sessions, workshops and concrete illustrations,
• Topics adapted to the needs and issues identified by our target audiences,
• A list of complementary scientific articles, available to participants who wish to further their knowledge in this field

Creating a community

For sharing content and exchanging experiences between participants, trainers, speakers and the Smart City Institute team. At the end of the program, a closing drink is also planned to encourage networking.
