CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

INBOUND FRIENZ STUDY GROUP TOUR - RESILIENT CITIES

 

The FRIENZ project will provide funding to assist selected European delegates to participate in a Study Group tour through New Zealand for approximately 5 days beginning 1 December 2014.  The task of the delegation is to promote opportunities for collaboration in research and innovation with New Zealand; strengthen existing relationships; and stimulate new collaboration with New Zealand research organisations and innovation partners.

Resilient Cities is a priority for collaboration under the EU-NZ Science and Technology Cooperation Roadmap 2014-2016.  The overall interdisciplinary theme of this study tour is urban regeneration – retrofit and rebuild of neighbourhoods and cities to increase social, cultural and economic wellbeing, liveability, resilience and sustainability.  This may include such research aspects as mobility, cities as a complex system, open and green space, infrastructure, smart cities, or climate change mitigation and adaptation. 

Participants are expected to strengthen on-going relationships and collaboration with their New Zealand counterparts in the theme area.

Please pass this information on to colleagues in Europe who may be interested in applying.

The application process is administered by the FRIENZ Project and applications close on Sunday 31 August 2014 (NZST).

More information and an application form is available on the FRIENZ website
