The Dutch Research Agenda (NWA) is well on its way and Waag Society, leader of the NWA's Smart, liveable cities programme, asked the Centre for BOLD Cities team to host a meeting in which relevant (potential) consortium partners could work together and develop new plans for the programme. This meeting took place on Tuesday 1 October.
During the meeting, the interested parties were invited to contribute to a midterm analysis, looking into the status of the Smart and liveable cities programme on the whole, and discussing the proposals that have been submitted so far. In doing so, the institutions that have already formed consortia and the institutions that may still look to do so cooperated in an attempt to learn the most valuable lessons for future proposals and applications.
