Transformation - Urban Opportunities -Climate Change - Webinar Series

By Luciana Maia, Consultant TUrbOCliC

In 2015 TUrbOCliC has initiated a webinar series, aiming at exchanging experiences / good practices among our members as well as other interested colleagues, partners and collaborators. An additional goal is also to systematically collect information about the relevant topics within our programmes.

Around 200 colleagues have joined the webinars since 2015, not only from Asia, but also from Africa and Latin America, as well as Germany. Presentations were very informative and discussions interesting and fruitful. The webinar series has become a lively platform for interaction and networking. The series will be continued in 2018.

In 2017, 3 Webinars were conducted:
