Groene waterstof zal een cruciale rol gaan spelen in de overgang naar een klimaatneutrale samenleving. Je kunt erop varen, vliegen en rijden en het is een belangrijke brand- en grondstof voor de industrie. Waterstof zal de schakel worden naar een duurzaam energiesysteem.
Kom naar de Waterstof Expo op dinsdag 20 september bij A LAB in Amsterdam. Tijdens deze expo ontdek je wat waterstof is, wat de mogelijkheden van waterstof zijn en wat er allemaal in de Metropoolregio Amsterdam en het Noordzeekanaalgebied gebeurt op dit gebied. Zo is er een Virtual Reality experience en een uitgebreide verhalenmuur met alle toekomstige plannen en projecten.
De toegang is gratis. Meld je aan via onderstaande link en kies een tijdslot. De waterstof expo duurt ongeveer 45 minuten. Wil je met een groep komen? Neem dan direct contact op met Wilmar van Grondelle. Je kunt dan met de groep ook buiten de aangegeven tijdsloten langskomen.

Let’s talk about speed: Safer vehicles or safer streets?
On December 18, join us for an evening in Amsterdam where we talk about Speed and Safety in cities. Do safer vehicles make us forget the need for safer streets?
Townmaking Institute in collaboration with Gemeente Amsterdam
In conversation with
<strong>Carl Honoré</strong>: Writer, speaker, broadcaster, advocate of the Slow Movement
<strong>Luca Bertolini</strong>: Professor of Urban Planning UvA
<strong>Onno Kramer</strong>: Head Collection Management at Accel
Vehicle speeds, whether cars, trucks, or e-bikes, profoundly affect our experience of cities. What feels too fast or too slow often depends on the place we occupy in traffic: a pedestrian may feel endangered by a motorist’s speed, while the motorist simply wants to reach their destination.
Traditionally, fixed speed limits have been the solution, but these don’t account for the dynamic nature of urban spaces, nor the emergence of new vehicle types. Unsafe streets push people into safer vehicles, but in doing so, we risk neglecting making safer streets.
To create safer, more livable streets, we need to rethink our approach to speed regulation, considering the evolving complexity of urban life.
This event marks the start of our journey towards the Speed Summit in 2025. The conversation opens with Carl Honoré, Luca Bertolini, and Onno Kramer exploring what should come first for liveable cities: safe streets or safe vehicles.
Event Details:
Wednesday, 18th December 2024
At 20:00 hours.
Grote Zaal, Pakhuis de Zwijger,
Piet Heinkade 179,
1019 HC Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Research Interviews Request for PhD Dissertation!
My name is Pınar Ebe-Güzgü, a PhD student at İzmir Katip Çelebi University, Turkey, currently conducting research at the University of Twente. My doctoral research focuses on social justice and disadvantaged groups in the context of smart city applications, with a particular emphasis on the mobility of elderly people (defined by WHO as people over the age of 65).
As part of my research, I conduct in-depth interviews with residents (aged 65+) of Amsterdam, caretakers of elderly individuals, and those working on (or with expertise in) smart city initiatives. The goal is to explore the mobility experiences of 65+ people in Amsterdam and develop policy recommendations to enhance social justice in urban management.
If you would like to share your experiences, your participation in this research would be invaluable. All interviews will be conducted at a time and format that suits you.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Your insights will greatly contribute to our understanding of how smart city applications impact the mobility and quality of life of older individuals.
If you are interested in participating, please reach out to me via the email address below:
