Description

During the General Assembly, the state of affairs regarding the Computer Science Department will be explained.

Mick Walvisch will take you into the world of SMART cities.

Some descriptions of SMART cities:
"In a Smart City, a smart city, economic growth is sustainable. The use of technology and the efficient use of raw materials contribute to this. In this way, the quality of life of the inhabitants of a Smart City improves."

"A city can be defined as 'smart' if investments in human and social capital and traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure promote sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with wise management of natural resources, through participatory action and engagement. (Caragliu et al. 2009)."

During this evening, we will go through together what ideas there are in the room on SMART cities and what it can mean for everyone.

Mick Walvisch is an entrepeneur pure and simple. He has founded several companies and works and helps several startups build and expand their business.
Originally a graphic and typographic designer, Mick is passionate about technology. He rolled into the advertising world quite early on and has been at the top as the owner of major advertising agencies. Currently, he has plunged into the world of 3d printing, among other things.
He has been giving guest lectures at Nyenrode Business University and Maastricht University since the beginning of this century.

Mick went to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (MWC14) as recently as the end of February. He will therefore contribute some insights he gained there this evening. The mobile network is very important in SMART cities and will certainly be a building block for the rise of the SMART city.
