Are your in a SUGI Nexus funded project or one of the funding agencies behind the call? Are you involved in other JPI Urban Europe projects, and interested in the food-water-energy nexus? Register for the SUGI FWE Nexus final event, taking place online 22- 23 March 2022! Read this page to explore the details and the instructions for preparations together with your consortium.
The Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus is coming to an end in 2021 and most of the 15 projects have already finalized or will do so during spring. It is time to come together for the final event!
Purpose: SUGI projects will present their most important results and together with interested parties we will take the first steps towards describing and defining the legacy of SUGI FWE Nexus. Projects will have time to deep-dive into concerns of their preference, and work together prior to the event.
For whom: SUGI projects are encouraged to send 3 – 5 representatives per project. Involved funding agencies and stakeholders from cities and business are also invited and given the opportunity to learn about results and outcomes from the projects. Partners from other Urban Europe calls with a particular interest in FWE Nexus topics are also welcome to join the event on the first day.
Registration: Open now (scroll down). Last day to sign up to present project results and co-create the event is January 17.
Preparations: Projects are welcome to co-create the event. More information has been sent out via email. Contact person: katarina.schylberg@iqs.se or info@jpi-urbaneurope.eu
