Wanna hear more about AU's activities in the field of smart cities? And what are smart cities anyway? Sign up for this light-weight seminar to hear more and to meet others who are also interested.

AU Smart Cities is an effort to strengthen smart city activities involving AU employees, by helping and coordinating initiatives within research, education and knowledge partnerships.

At the seminar you will hear briefly about what's already going on, and how AUSC may be of help. Examples include ways to obtain funding for creating proposals; existing strategic partnerships locally, nationally and internationally; partnership instruments to strengthen proposals and to focus dissemination activities; and much more.

You will meet colleagues from all four main areas at AU, either actively involved or just looking to see what's going.

You will also hear about initiatives such as Smart Aarhus, Internet Week Denmark, Open Data Aarhus, the Danish Smart City Network, upcoming workshops and guest lectures.
