Hi all
I manage a smart city project for the city of Adelaide in South Australia.
I am really interested in learning more about your BAMBEA project as we are looking at the health applications for iBeacons at the moment.
Is the trial up and running? What has been the outcome?
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

I'm Samu Balogh, master student in Sustainable Urban Planning and Design at KTH Stockholm. I'm looking for an internship during spring 2017, where I could write my master thesis. Currently I'm working in Budapest, I'm involved to the preparation of the Smart Budapest concept.

If there's any possibility, let me know!

Thanks,
Samu

My name is Dillion Asher, and I am an American student pursuing my masters degree in International Development at the University of Pittsburgh. I am reaching out to Amsterdam Smart City's network in an effort to identity internship opportunities in sustainable development for an overseas student like myself. As my future goal is to attain an internship in the Netherlands (and to relocate for permanent employment upon graduation), I am collecting information on local career opportunities in sustainability. Some of the questions I hope to answer through my inquiries include:

- Are internship/employment opportunities generally available to non-EU students/foreign nationals?

- Which NGOs, companies, or public institutions might I communicate with to discuss a potential internship, or even a collaborative research partnership while in school?

- What types of knowledge, skills, training, or experience might be recommended or desired for a student interested in a career in sustainable development?

- Are there any university courses or degree programs in the Netherlands that are particularly valued for skill development and training with respect to sustainable development?

- What are the biggest future challenges to urban planning and sustainability work in the Netherlands?

If there are any individuals out there in Amsterdam Smart City's network who may be in a position to offer guidance, advice, or perhaps a referral to other sources of information, I would be most grateful for the assistance to my search! Please feel free to comment, and to reach out with any questions you may have about my interests, goals, future plans, and ongoing studies at the University of Pittsburgh.

Kind regards,
Dillion Asher

We have been in the smart world for years and one of the topics we are really in are the demand response models between microgrids and grid. There is a recent call we would like to go for and we are looking for international partners, especially the ones already participating in City-zen. Would be great to find them here. Kind regards.

Secretly jealous of your neighbors PV panels? Fed up with your draughty and chilly home?

Already 500 homes in Amsterdam are being retrofitted in an energy efficient way. There's still funding available for approximately 130 dwellings. The owners of these homes or residential buildings can apply via www.amsterdamsmartcity.nl/subsidie. The funding is distributed according to the first come - first served principle.

So if your planning to retrofit your home or to increase the value of your rental property, apply today!

This European funding for the retrofit of approximately 600 homes in Amsterdam is available via City-zen.

The project City-Zen is going to create a ”Virtual Power Plant” of 50 home batteries. 50 households involved will collectively sell energy on specific moments while buying energy on the energy markets at other times. By using the storage capacity of 50 batteries, buying energy can be done at the most favourable time. The 50 participants will be able to use more sustainable energy and respond to the fluctuating prices. When there is a surplus of wind or solar energy, the batteries will be charged. When more energy is charged than the households are using, the batteries will be discharged. This will be done when the energy prices are high.

Does saving on your energy bill and being a front-runner sound good? Then we're looking for you! Join today!

This project by Alliander, Greenspread and Amsterdam Smart City is part of City-zen and funded by the European Commission. www.cityzen-smartcity.eu

I am currently writing a Masters thesis that discusses how Amsterdam has and continues to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Is anyone willing to discuss with me their perspectives on if and how this achieved?
I would like to talk to anyone involved in any project, organisation or authority with experience of adaptation measures.
I have a particular interest in how Amsterdam has and plans to adapt to issues surrounding extreme weather events and water.

Thank you.

Dharamshala is selected as a smart city under the smart cities mission in India. Dharamshala Smart City (DSC) has received funding from the central government to develop it as a smart city in the next 5 years. DSC is very keen to collaborate with Netherlands on G2G level, K2K and B2B level. They are also looking at getting experts from Netherlands who can support DSC in urban planning, water, waste, mobility and planning for a smart city. It would be very interesting to explore and Amsterdam smart city would be interested in partnering with DSC and providing knowledge sharing.
