Action Plane : Raise international awareness
The Center of Competence for Future Cities involves working with mentoring institutes based at prestigious universities in Europe, namely Supélec, University College London (UCL) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), which have agreed to serve as mentors by sharing their knowledge and promoting the exchange of key personnel. In addition, it is the project's intent to continue to deepen the strong partnerships established with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), which include joint research and training programs.Mentoring Institutes
