SHAPE THE FUTURE OF NEXT GENERATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Well-planned infrastructure strengthens the resiliency, sustainability, and the economic viability and livability of communities. Offered by the University of Washington Department of Urban Design and Planning, the Master of Infrastructure Planning and Management online degree prepares you to lead the development of the next generation of critical infrastructure systems — improving security, and accessibility. Gain a broad understanding of the complexity and the interdependencies between infrastructure systems — communications, public health, water, energy, food and transportation — with a final project that allows you to showcase your acquired knowledge about an infrastructure issue of your choice.
PROGRAM FEATURES
- In-depth courses covering key topics such as infrastructure finance, emergency management, green infrastructure practices, urban mobility, climate change, urban informatics, geographic information systems, social equity and inclusion, and community resilience
- Examination of key infrastructure sectors and their essential components through the lens of systems thinking
- All-hazards risk management approach, shaped by faculty and industry experts, that complements a traditional emergency management focus, encompassing threats from natural hazards, deterioration, cyber penetrations, and climate change

Smart City Expo World Congress is the leading event for cities, pushing to create a better urban life by empowering citizens and enabling more efficient and inclusive urban services. Since 2011, it has been at the vanguard of change for cities and has developed a groundbreaking model of advocacy for a better urban world.
After a year of pandemic, SCEWC21 celebrates its 10th anniversary with the physical event coming back to Barcelona and a parallel digital program broadcast by Tomorrow.City. The event will gather leading international experts and 400 exhibiting companies to share knowledge and tackle the many challenges involved in urban transformation.
To cover the many fields involved, the congress program will be structured in eight themes, Enabling Technologies, Energy & Environment, Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress, Governance, Living & Inclusion, Economy, Infrastructure & Buildings, and Safety & Security. and will feature topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, New Energy Models, Green Spaces, Low Carbon, Micro & Shared Mobility, Cross-sector Governance, Citizen Engagement, Critical Infrastructures, City Ethics & Privacy, Urban Safety and Emergency Response.
Cross industry collaboration has been one of the goals of SCEWC since its inception. The SCEWC 2021 edition will strengthen its role as a world platform for knowledge sharing and widen its reach by hosting two new events: Tomorrow.Mobility and PUZZLE X. Tomorrow.Mobility will focus on promoting the design and adoption of new sustainable urban mobility models. PUZZLE X aims to grasp the potential of Frontier materials to solve some of the challenges that society is facing. The initiative includes a yearly event and a venture builder incubator to support Materials Deep Tech startups, attract investment and build a global ecosystem.
The developments that are needed in technology, financing and infrastructure to fast track the growth of the industry in a carbon free world
SAE Media Group is delighted to present the return of the 15th annual Energy from Waste conference taking place on the 5 -6 December 2022 back in London, UK.
Waste conference will bring together international waste management operators, developers, bankers, private equity financiers, technology providers and industrial end users for two days of intensive networking, discussing developments that are needed in technology, financing and infrastructure to ensure the solutions are available to fast track the growth of the industry worldwide.
With case studies from the leading Energy from Waste plants within UK and Europe the event will give an overall look into all aspects of running a successful facility. We delve deep into both small scale and large-scale production and understand the benefits and constraints found within both size projects, in addition to finding out how new innovations can maximise value and optimise investment returns.
A focus on how Energy from Waste sits within the UK’s ambition on the road to net zero and how technology within the Carbon capture and storage market coupled with the evolvement and implementation of district heating is an essential part of that journey. With updates on how legislation and policy can stimulate more investment this comprehensive conference remains an essential calendar date for those in the Energy from Waste community
Benefits of attending:
- Witness case studies giving updates on the challenges and opportunities facing Energy from Waste projects in England, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, The Netherlands, Scotland and Poland
- Learn of the technical challenges of optimising output from energy from waste plants and the compatibility of EFW with CCS and Hydrogen production
- Determine the trends, innovations and challenges of sustainable financing
- Uncover how carbon pricing can drive a more circular economy where resource productivity is higher and waste leakage lower.
- Understand the key economics of financing EFW plants and how they differ from other types of renewable generation
- Gain an in depth understanding of the opportunities that CCS technology has for Energy from Waste industry
- Discover if the EFW market in the UK is at capacity and where it is heading
ITS European Congress, Lisbon 22 – 24 May 2023
ERTICO – ITS Europe and the Lisboa Câmara Municipal will host the 15th ITS European Congress in Lisbon, from 22 May to 24 May 2023 under the theme ‘ITS: The Game Changer’. The event will take place at the Lisbon Congress Centre, located in the historical area of Belém, next to the Tagus River.
Lisbon is part of Europe’s entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem and enjoys global recognition as a welcoming destination. In combination with ERTICO’s dedicated work to promote and develop smart and sustainable mobility solutions and services, the ITS European Congress promises an interactive Conference programme, innovative live demos and an energetic exhibition.
As the largest event in Europe entirely dedicated to smart mobility and digitalisation of transport, the 15th ITS European Congress will deliver an outstanding event built around three pillars:
- An International Conference with a High-Level Programme, Special Interest Sessions (SIS), Technical Paper presentations as well as interactive workshops
- Live demonstrations and technical visits will cover an area of 25.000 sqm to showcasing unique experiences of tomorrow’s mobility solutions
- A lively exhibition filled with cutting-edge solutions focusing on contributing to a more sustainable, smarter and cleaner mobility ecosystem
