Solar Cities Congress

[i]Building sustainable cities 2nd International Solar Cities Congress[/i] 3-6 April 2006 Oxford, UK

[img]http://www.oxfordcrm.co.uk/isci/images/logos/logo1.jpg[/img] The Congress taking place at the University's Examination Schools in Oxford, from 3–6 April 2006, will draw together experiences from the worlds of business, science, policy-making and urban communities – the four major stakeholders in Solar Cities. It is a unique opportunity to develop common approaches and policies for sustainable cities. Solar has a major part to play in the post-fossil fuel economy along with other renewable energy sources. For all participants it is a chance for a dialogue on key aspects of reducing carbon emissions. Working in 4 separate forums, these key groups will participate in a dynamic programme and be able to share and exchange views and perspectives in plenary sessions throughout the Congress. The outcomes of these sessions will be formalised in the Oxford Route Map for Solar Cities at the end of the Congress - a practical guide which, it is hoped, will become a vital tool for everyone involved in building the sustainable cities of the future around the world. In addition to the main Congress programme, there are exciting additional activities: - an exhibition showcase for Businesses and Organisations - there are plans for an environmental exhibition - a Congress Dinner at the magnificent Christchurch College - a community programme involving groups from all over Oxfordshire is also being assembled to capture the interest the conference will generate in the region For further information visit the website: http://www.oxfordcrm.co.uk/
