Successful in Hyderabad
The Megacity Project funded by BMBF (German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research) “Hyderabad as a Megacity of Tomorrow: Climate
and Energy in a Complex Transition Process towards Sustainable
Hyderabad - Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies by Changing
Institutions, Governance Structures, Lifestyles and Consumption
Patterns” has been very successful the first year. The project is
coordinated by the Division of Resource Economics of Humboldt
University. ?
At the beginning of the project, an international stakeholder workshop
was held in Hyderabad during which the participants elaborated a joint
vision for a sustainable Hyderabad. The research guided by this vision
laid the foundations for the further development of the project.?
For representing the project in the local context and providing a
communication centre for the participating researchers and
stakeholders, a project house was set up in Hyderabad.
From the second year on, the project’s capacity will be extended by a
considerable number of scholarship holders in the framework of the DAAD
programme (German Academic Exchange Service) “Study and Research
Scholarships of Today for the Megacities of Tomorrow”. In total, 26
additional Indian scientists (13 PhD students, 4 Master Students, 3
Postdocs and 6 Senior Scientists) will join the project.?
