FW: Rondetafelgesprek UNSense

13 Feb '19

Dear all, As a follow up on the meeting with UNStudio during the FMG Strategy Day the dean now wants to organize a round table with possibly interested staff members. Johan is looking for expression of interest of people who may wish to take part Please let me know if you are interested. I think an interest at this point is a commitment to follow the round table. I am afraid I don't have any further information though apart from what is in the attached. Luca may know more as he was at the FMG meeting Best maria

Urban Planning meeting notes (+ listserv)
by Marco Te Brömmelstroet 06 Feb '19

06 Feb '19

Hi all, See attached the notes of our meeting of today. A bit long due to the sharing of information. Maybe next time this works better to file somewhere before each meeting for further reference. Also: I created this listserv on UvA servers to allow us to share relevant information for the Core Group members of Urban Planning. I added all of you to the list, so you should be allowed to send messages directly to that address. Since each message will automatically get [UPCoregroup] in the subject, you can easily have it forwarded to a folder.
