The local dimension is also underlined by close cooperation with the Local Action Group: “Company for Humpolec region development”. It uses co-working spaces and mediates information related to development activities and potential funding opportunitiesboth to members and other bodies in the region. A cooperation with local primary and secondary schools is also being prepared with a focus on Technical Science teaching. Architectural concept, equipment and decorations express environmentally friendly relation, respect for human dignity and benefi ts of cooperation. Dozens of experts participate in the centre’s activities through regular lectures, workshops and conferences. Modern information technologies are the basis of every quality co-working. The Co-working cooperative Together provides its own and complete online management of co-working membership, login to events, reservation of meeting rooms and also includes tools for establishing new contacts. E.g. on the screen in co-working there are contacts on users actually residing in the premises and interested in cooperation. To achieve this only a corresponding setting of the user profile is needed, and the login made with a chip or in the application when entering the co-working. On the Web there is an on-line overview of the current workload of co-working and availability of the meeting rooms.
The services offered include fast colour printing to A3 format, using smart Logon. E.g. the registered user can send the print file to the printer from home and the next day when visiting the co-working the file is printed after triggering the printing machine by his/her chip.
: Is this the way? Unlike large towns, rural areas are more limited in community life. There is not a large offer of clubs, background of universities and cultural activities are not too rich. The Smart Hub can be a hub for meeting and networking. Although people know each other personally in small towns, practice shows that facilitation of meeting creates new forms of cooperation which would otherwise not occur. There could be a closer cooperation with the city/town where the co-working becomes such a neutral place for meeting with citizens when discussing local issues.
