Interoperability in relation to immersive technologies, AI and virtual worlds in the context of local and regional authorities and communities will be discussed in all its aspects, both on the technical (semantic and technical) and the non-technical level (public service governance, legal, organisational, cultural). Best practices and use cases from cities and communities around the world will be collected for every layer of interoperability and the potential of ensuring minimal interoperability through defining a new Minimal Interoperability Mechanism (MIM, as defined in ITU-T Y.4505) will be assessed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Co-Leaders of the Interoperable Citiverse Track<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:18% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/metaverse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Roland-e1747825229995-150x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1972 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Roland van der Heijden<\/strong><\/strong><br>Chief Citiverse Officer, City of Rotterdam, The Netherlands<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:18% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/metaverse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/headshot.jpg-1024x992.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2181 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/metaverse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/headshot.jpg-1024x992.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.itu.int\/metaverse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/headshot.jpg-300x291.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.itu.int\/metaverse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/headshot.jpg-768x744.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.itu.int\/metaverse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/headshot.jpg-1536x1488.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.itu.int\/metaverse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/headshot.jpg.jpeg 1765w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><div class=\"ituContainer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Karl-Filip Coenegrachts<\/strong><br>Chair of the Board of Directors and Executive Director, Open &amp; Agile Smart Cities (OASC), Belgium<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The track focuses on interoperability challenges related to the Citiverse.
