We are pleased to announce that we have received support for a project entitled Building research collaboration with India and Kyrgyzstan to explore the role of universities in developing skills for smart cities.

This project, funded through an allocation from the Scottish Funding Council to the University of Glasgow to develop its Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) work, engages with the possibilities of knowledge exchange through partner meetings and site visits to smart cities in India and Kyrgyzstan, as well as a workshop in Glasgow, to explore the core problem of capacity building of universities in emerging economies, particularly in the context of inclusive and equitable smart cities. 

The project has the potential to foster distinct and identifiable long-term outcomes that will also benefit internationalisation strategies of the University of Glasgow. For more information please visit this link. Our work will include a number of key colleagues in both countries.
