Dear colleague,<br>
<br>
The RCUK funded SMARt ciTIES is led by Professor Michele Clarke (University of Nottingham) and Dr. Ajith Kaliyath (National Institute of Urban Affairs, India) brings together a consortium of multidisciplinary, international researchers to develop new collaborative
solutions to the multi-layered challenges of rapid urbanisation. The expertise needed involves education and social science, cultural heritage and urban planning, science and engineering, ecology and environmental sciences and information technology.<br>
<br>
The network includes leading urban researchers from the UK and India, University of Nottingham, University of Birmingham, University of Southampton, Bishop Grosseteste University College, Loughborough University, Northumbria University, Nottingham Trent University
and University of Surrey, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Indian Institute of Population Studies Mumbai, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development
Research Mumbai and Institute for Social and Economic Change, Bengaluru.<br>
<br>
The NASA Europa Challenge is there to inspire innovative ideas for building applications that serve the INSPIRE Directive and use the ESA-NASA open source virtual globe technology, Web World Wind. SMARt ciTIES is pleased to participate in this fifth year of
the NASA Europa Challenge, specifically involving UK and India students. You are challenged to build a great application that serves some aspect of the OpenCitySmart design [1] and uses NASA’s open source virtual globe technology, Web World Wind. SMARTIES
has been promoting NASA Europa Challenge through our workshops in India [2],[3] .<br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce the launch the SMARTIES Entrepreneurship competition through the NASA Europa Challenge 2017. SMARTIES will provide 5000 GBP for awards (£2500 for First Place, £1500 for the Second Place and £1000 for the Third Place). Due to the nature
of the funding, the SMARTIES Entrepreneurship awards are specific to all UK and India students who participate in the NASA Europa Challenge 2017. This is a contest where everyone wins just by playing! Help your city and thereby the cities of the world with
capabilities all cities need. We are in this world together, let’s deliver results ‘for the benefit of all’, the NASA motto.<br>
