Your job

his internship is part of the 4-year-long Blue City project from Innosuisse.

The Blue City Project is a transdisciplinary consortium aiming to map a city’s multi-layered, interconnected network of flows (traffic, waste, energy, …) and create a responsive Urban Digital Twin for the digitally transformed, post-pandemic world. 

A Digital Twin (DT) is a digital representation of a real-world entity or system. It reflects a single physical object, process, organisation, person, or other abstraction. DT enables true two-way communication between the physical and the digital world. Combined with Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning technology, a Digital twin platform will assist evidence-based, collective decisions to improve urban well-being, sustainability, resilience, and maximize ecological value.

In the context of this internship, we aim at implementing a prototype of secure data sharing between digital twins. We will use real case data models from Blue City actors. It implies the following activities:

  • Take over the security framework from past internships 
  • Analyze cross-organization use cases with our partner ecosystem
  • Implement the prototype for selected use cases
  • Extend and adapt the security framework based on learnings.
