Feb22 The other city - Public conference series |
||
 |
WILCO is contributing to the series of conferences called “The other city”, aimed at bringing forward some of the hidden faces, often unknown and almost always ignored, of some European cities. This unknown side of the city includes the creative potential of alternative artistic expressions, to the presence of rural immigrants or the (unplanned) consequences of urban planning. By choosing a different venue in the city for each conference, the University will go out of its comfort zone (symbolically and physically) and establish a firsthand connection with these hidden faces.

Final Conference
An open conference will be organized to disseminate the results of WILCO at the European level at the end of 2013.
Members of WILCO’s four main audience groups – the scientific community, European, national and local policy makers, practitioners and the general public - will be invited to discuss ways of enhancing the EU funded research and transfer its results to the various systemic levels. The scientific community will be invited and encouraged to attend so as to improve the sustainability and transferability of project results. External experts will also be invited to provide their insight and provide a relevant framework capable of inserting WILCO’s proposed theory into the existing scientific corpus. Additionally, avenues for exploiting project findings at both levels (e.g. contributing to policy innovation or producing a set of tools for practitioners).
Participation in the conference will be open to the public although on-line registration will be required. The program as well as registration information will be available on this web site when the date approaches.
