Welcome
An initiative funded by the Bilateral Fund of the
Environment, Ecosystems and Climate Change
Programme supported from Norway Grants 2014-2021
Description and justification of the initiative:
ARESC
is
a
Czech-Norwegian
initiative
aimed
at
fostering
research
cooperation
in
the
field
of
sustainable,
smart
and
resilient
cities
.
This
network
for
research
cooperation
is
being
developed
by
the
Faculty
of
Transportation
Sciences
of
the
Czech
Technical
University
in
Prague
(FTS
CTU),
the
Faculty
of
Science
and
Technology
of
the
University
of
Stavanger
(FST
UoS)
and
other
relevant
entities
in
the
Czech
Republic
and
in
Norway,
including
civic
associations,
enterprises
and
municipalities.
The
research
cooperation
among
stakeholders
in
this
field
is
being
encouraged
by
means
of
two
planned
workshops
that
will
facilitate
the
exchange
and
broadening
of
the
knowledge
about
planning
in
the
context
of
smart,
sustainable
and
resilient
cities.
The
first
workshop
will
be
held
in
Stavanger
in
June
2-3
.
The
second
workshop
will be held in
Prague in June 9-10.
In
a
highly
dynamic
urban
environment
faced
by
increasing
effects
of
climate
change
the
role
of
universities
in
the
formation
of
citizens
of
the
future
with
a
holistic
approach
to
urban
problems
become
even
more
challenging.
Therefore
it
becomes
essential
for
European
universities
to
engage
with
other
relevant
stakeholders
in
order
to
gradually
prepare
their
academic
staff
and
students
towards
a
mission-oriented
approach
to
research and innovation for climate-neutral and smart cities.
