CFM arranged a Nordic Facilities Management (FM) conference at DTU’s main campus in Lyngby by Copenhagen on 22-23 August 2011. The title of the conference was: “Research for Practice – Vision of Futures”. This book is a result of the conference. The title of the conference indicates firstly, that the objective was to present FM research aimed at practitioners and to facilitate discussions and collaboration between researchers and practitioners. Secondly, the title indicates, that the objective also was to present visions of the future of FM and FM research. According to the conference announcement the purpose was to create an exciting meeting place for people working with FM around CFM’s research. The con- ference program aimed to give insights into research projects, to discuss the results and to ex- plore mutual interests of practitioners and researchers in the next generation of FM research. The ambition was to create a Nordic meeting place, which the participants would remember for the intellectual challenges, its practical relevance and as a milestone in the increased alli- ance around FM research for practice in the Nordic countries. The conference was arranged in collaboration with NordicFM and DFM – the Danish Facilities Management Association. There were 82 participants in the conference from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The book is mostly based on the papers from the conference with necessary corrections and in a graphical elaborated layout. It also includes introductions to each theme, summaries of discussions from paper sessions and workshops during the conference, and results of CFM’s FM Futures project. The main purpose of this project was to create input to a joint Nordic FM re- search agenda. Thus, the overriding purpose of the conference, the FM Futures project and this book is to support increased Nordic collaboration on FM research among researchers and with practitioners. We are excited to see in the coming years how well we will succeed with this. We would like to thank all of you who participated in and contributed to the conference, to the FM Futures project and the production of this book.

  • Open Call Kolding Den 14
    Open Call Kolding den 14. november 2017 Art projects for the Triangle Festival 2019 From 23 august to 1 September 2019 For the last couple of years, art has played a bigger and bigger role in the Triangle Festival. We would like to do even more to visualize the art experiences in our festival and make them more accessible to our audience. Therefore, we have chosen to show art in seven Art Zones. Each Art Zone has its own aesthetics and history - places where people meet, hang out or pass by. The seven art zones have different hosts, and they will each get different expressions that appeal to different people. We are looking for art projects that work site-specific and who will explore the festival theme ’MOVE’. We wish that some of the projects involve the audience, but it is not a requirement for all projects. The Seven Art Zones The Manor House Sønderskov offers a special aesthetic experience with historical depth. The beautiful frames invite art projects that awaken curiosity. The Town Square ’Gravene’ The square is located in the part of Haderslev, which houses the oldest central districts near Haderslev Cathedral. The place is full of history and invites to art projects that experiment with the possibilities of the place. The Library Park The place is a recreational city oasis for the citizens. It has been created each year since 2016 in front of Kolding Library for a few weeks in late summer. Invites projects that surprise and experiment with creating new rooms in the city. The Mental Hospital (Teglgårdsparken) The former mental hospital in the city of Middelfart invites to a cultural day focused on psychiatry in fascinating historical frameworks.

Background: Use of antipsychotics in elderly patients with dementia has decreased in the past decade due to safety regulations; however use is still high. Geographical variation may indicate discrepancies in clinical practice and lack of adherence to evidence-based guidelines for the management of behavioral symptoms. Objective: To investigate potential geographical variances in use of antipsychotic drugs in dementia care. Methods: A registry-based cross-sectional study in the entire elderly population of Denmark (≥65 years) conducted in 2012. Data included place of residence, prescriptions filled, and hospital discharge diagnoses. Antipsychotic drug use among elderly with (n = 34,536) and without (n = 931,203) a dementia diagnosis was compared across the five regions and 98 municipalities in Denmark, adjusted for age and sex. Results: In 2012, the national prevalence of antipsychotic drug use was 20.7% for elderly patients with dementia, with a national incidence of 3.9%.

The project has two phases: Development phase ( 6 months) and Implementation phase (27 months) Update summarised description of project and issue addressed In the summarized description for the DOI Application form, is stated that the main objective of the SMART CITIES Project is to develop a different picture of how public services could be organized through an open innovation process, considering the citizens in the core of system, to help the local authorities in creating new tools for improving the quality of life and well-being of communities and citizens. The project intends to foster Smart Cities (and communities) that promotes social innovation and inclusiveness together with economic innovation and environmental sustainability, in line with the EU Strategy 2020. The Smart cities network is to develop a new relationship between municipalities and their citizens. This new approach is based on citizen or user led innovation and aims to rebuild trust and create shared models of delivery. This new relationship will be developed through two parallel approaches, one focusing on particular areas of the city which is called Smart localities, the other on horizontal policies called Smart services.
