2nd Citiverse Assembly

As virtual worlds and local digital twins move from experimentation to deployment, the key challenge is no longer vision but coordination. The 2nd Citiverse Assembly takes place at International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on 12 May 2026 and aims to examine how key actors can connect real-world use cases, governance needs and standards activity so that citiverse solutions remain open, secure, trustworthy and interoperable across platforms, sectors and cities. It will translate high-level ambitions into a focused discussion on virtual worlds, interoperability frameworks, trust safeguards, governance models and pathways for collaborative ICT standardisation.

Objectives

Co-organized by ITU, the European Commission, OASC and UNICC, and supported by StandICT.eu 2029, the 2nd Citiverse Assembly convenes cities, governments, industry, standards bodies, research, and academia to strengthen global collaboration on the citiverse. The programme will identify the main sources of fragmentation, clarify priority building blocks for interoperable virtual worlds and local digital twins and define practical areas for joint action between projects, cities and standardisation communities.

Who is this for?

This is a call for standards experts, city and public-sector innovation teams, SDO representatives, researchers, SMEs, industry, EU-funded projects, and policymakers working on virtual worlds, digital twins, AI, data spaces and smart communities. Together we expect to sharpen a common vocabulary, shortlist priority standardisation challenges, and actionable inputs for future StandICT.eu community work on virtual worlds and citiverse standardisation. These outcomes are a reasoned fit with the Assembly agenda and StandICT.eu’s TWG model.
