Hello guys, I am seriously needing help in framing a topic for myself. I am currently a MSc Risk student at Durham University. I have always been interested in smart cities and urban analytics in relation to flooding. I will also like to expand on my selected topic for my PhD. Thanks in anticipation for your help.

[Gecanceld] Hoe kunnen we met een taxshift de circulaire bouweconomie versnellen?

Helaas hebben we door omstandigheden dit event moeten cancelen. Iedereen die zich tot op heden heeft aangemeld, heeft hier als het goed is bericht op gehad. Heb je toch vragen hierover? We horen graag van je! Stuur me gerust een mailtje via jasmyn@price-ce.nl
Hoe kunnen we met een taxshift de circulaire bouweconomie versnellen?
Het onderzoek dat we recent met partners hebben uitgevoerd, laat zien hoe de taxshift de transitie naar een circulaire bouweconomie mogelijk maakt. Met de taxshift verschuiven we de lasten van arbeid naar vervuiling en verbruik. Hoe levert draaien aan de belastingknop 80% milieuwinst op?
Op 1 juni presenteren we bij Circl de opvallende resultaten van dit nieuwste onderzoek en reflecteren we hier samen op. Ervaar in dit interactieve programma dat we allemaal onderdeel uitmaken van de transitie naar een circulaire bouweconomie.
We spreken onder andere Sustainability Manager bij Fiction Factory Marije Remigius, Wavemaker met The Ex'tax Project Femke Groothuis, Programmamanager bij Goldschmeding Foundation Birgitta Kramer, Head Sector Advisory bij ABN AMRO Sander Van Wijk, Co-Founder Copper8 Cécile van Oppen, Senior Consulant bij Copper8 Sybren Bosch en Ingrid Zeegers, programmamanager bij PRICE.
Wil je hier graag bij zijn? Meld je hier aan via de website van Circl.

Clouds of Europe, EKS clusters and Security Compliance

In this meetup hosted by Aknostic, we will be diving into some of our favorite subjects: Clouds of Europe, EKS clusters, and Security Compliance.
The meetup will start at 17:30 with some snacks and drinks, so everyone can get to know each other.
At 18:15, we will start our program with 3 sessions (around 20 min each). We will be wrapping up the event with pizzas and beers, so you have time to enjoy discussions while eating pizzas.
We will have 3 talks on our agenda:
- First talk: Building the Clouds of Europe, one cloud at a time.
- Second talk: Managing dozens of EKS clusters the Gitops way
- Third talk - Setting up a CI/CD pipeline solution for a client's use case

Hello Grace, thank you for this. I have not started the dissertation yet, just trying to bring my idea together. Thanks.
Hi Peter I hope your dissertation is going well, I don't know how far you have progressed since your post, so you may already know what you are writing on. I am also currently writing dissertation, and have formed my question by choosing a city important to me and seeing how it could improve in relation to my area of interest. I'm looking at urban greening, but if you were to do this with smart cities, you could use case studies of other projects such as the Amsterdam smart city or Milton Keynes (only 2 I know of, though I'm sure you'll know many more) and see how their efforts could be applied in another location. The other benefit I have found of relating it to a city you know is that you can talk to people locally about their opinions and knowledge, and you will have an understanding of the potential challenges in that location.
I hope everything goes well with your dissertation work, it sounds very interesting
