Happy new year 2009
Happy new year 2009 to all the caENTI members, and to all the researchers and territorial actors who are already involved in the anticipation of a network of excellence in territorial intelligence.
More generally, happy new year to all the persons who think it is more and more urgent to pitch on sustainable development, which include the territories scale, with:
- A multi-disciplinary scientific approach,
- A governance that balances the economic, social and environmental indicators whilst respecting cultures,
- Relevant and efficient partnership and participative actions.
The crisis intensification at the end of 2008 unfortunately shown once again these orientations urgency and the linked stakes for the scientific research.
The caENTI will be finished at the end of February 2009 with the delivery of the final reports and the presentation of the results at the occasion of a first seminar of dissemination in Brussels on February, 26th 2009.
The first issue of the Journal of Territorial Intelligence will also be published at the end of February.
In March or April, the Erasmus Mundus call for projects should be published; we will answer it with our project of European master of territorial intelligence.
It is planned a new call for projects for the 7th PCRD will be published in September. As a consequence, the next international conference of territorial intelligence, that will take place at the beginning of November in Salerno, will be a determinative step in the finalization of the project of network of excellence.
To conclude, we will live a year full of projects. We hope it will be equal to your personal aspirations and to our collective ambitions.
