The lack of interoperability is considered as the most important barrier to achieve the global integration of IoT ecosystems across borders of different disciplines, vendors and standards. Indeed, the current IoT landscape consists of a large set of isolated islands that do not constitute a real internet, preventing the exploitation of the huge potential expected by ICT visionaries.
VICINITY will build and demonstrate a device and standard agnostic platform for IoT infrastructures that will offer "Interoperability as a Service". It will rely on a decentralised and user-centric approach that offer a complete transparency across vertical domains while retaining full control of the ownership and distribution of data.
The VICINITY project aims to build and demonstrate a bottom-up ecosystem of decentralised interoperability of IoT infrastructures called virtual neighbourhood, where users can share the access to their smart objects without losing the control over them. The ubiquitous interoperability that is intended to be brought by VICINITY will release the vendor locks that are present in the current IoT ecosystems, and open the door towards independent value added services across IoT domains taking benefits of the availability of big amounts of data in semantic formats that are generated by IoT assets.
VICINITY project is Member of the IoT European Platforms Initiative (IoT-EPI)
IoT Week is a one-of-a-kind conference where leaders from the worlds of business, tech and science shed light on the future of technology and its impact on business and life. It is an annual event organized by the IoT Forum since 2011. The vibrant city of Aarhus will host the IoT Week conference in 2019.

Dear Partners & Friends,
Yet another newsletter.
Christmas time is there. It should be cold. But it isn’t.
Actually it is getting hot in our offices. Not due to some climate issues, but because the whole VICINITY team has LOTS to do.
We are now short of time before submission of the final reports. Nevertheless we have some time to report the latest news in this newsletter.
Dear VICINITY partners & friends, After the summer holidays we are approaching the final phase of the VICINITY project.
Dear VICINITY partners & friends,
After the summer holidays we are approaching the final phase of the VICINITY project. This comes with some good news: our participation at IoT Week 2019 in Aarhus was a great success with two of the three hackathon winners being projects supported by VICINITY teams. The SPRINGER book on VICINITY is also growing although a lot more work is needed to complete it. The use cases are being evaluated and are being complemented with several adaptors beyond those from the Open Call winners.
Dear VICINITY partners & friends,
You get this newsletter in a moment where VICINITY has reached the most important milestones: we have successfully implemented the platform; and the deployment to the demo sites is mostly done. Based on this we have investigated a set of business and exploitation models, and defined our unique selling points. We have been reviewed with very good outcomes and advices by the reviewers (read the summary below!).
Dear VICINITY Community,
It is a great pleasure for me to write this year’s Christmas greetings in the editorial.
Yet another newsletter!
But we have a number of interesting events and outcomes to report:
As you read this newsletter we have finished the selection of projects within our 1st open call. While it may sound easy, the 1st open call was, and still is, a challenge. We handled 45 submissions, together with 8 external evaluators who delivered 90 evaluations and 45 evaluation summary reports. This was particularly ambitious as several reviewers and members of our project management team were on holiday, so finding appropriate time slots for Skype meetings was at times difficult…
