The goal of the workshop series was to generate a community-focused perspective aligned with and in support of the federally led NIST Smart City Infrastructure program. The specific objective of the meetings was to solicit GCTC leadership input to articulate vision and mission statements as well as to identify forward looking goals and activities for the volunteer organization to inform a community-based strategy for the GCTC, as well as smart and connected communities across the nation.
Strategy Workshop
In 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched an innovative program to help cities improve on successes and build consensus for standards. Known originally as the Global City Teams Challenge and now as the Global Community Technology Challenge (GCTC), this group of community, industry, academic, and government stakeholders serves as a collaborative forum to identify, generate and implement advanced technologies for smart and connected communities.
In 2022, NIST awarded funding to George Mason University (Mason) to conduct a two-part workshop series to develop an integrative and supportive community-centric strategy to inform, strengthen and expand the GCTC program, in an effort to facilitate and enhance advanced technology research, development, and application and develop mission and vision statements to guide the future of the organization.
