De Fietser is situated in Ede, a few minutes by train from Arnhem and Nijmegen, the host cities of Velo-city 2017 Arnhem-Nijmegen. The exact address is: De Fietser, Akulaan 2, 6717 XN Ede. Page 1/6 HOW TO GET THERE How to get to the region Arnhem-Nijmegen On how to travel to Dutch Region Arnhem-Nijmegen you are advised to read the brochure about the region via this link: https://www.velo-city2017.com/media/1059/16010rbt_a5flyran_eng_web.pdf How to get by bicycle to Honigcomplex in Nijmegen for the social event on Saturday night The address for the Honigcomplex Nijmegen is: Waalbandijk 20-22, 6541 AJ, Nijmegen. Cycle route from Keizer Karelplein (Nijmegen Center) to Waalbandijk 22 (about 2 km): 1. Leave the Keizer Karelplein in northerly direction to the Nassausingel, this later becomes Kronenburgersingel (the famous Kronenburger Park is at your right). 2. At the bottom of the road (you are going slightly down hill) turn left, and follow the road underneath the train tracks (Lange Hezelstraat ) 3. Cycle on after the tunnel for about 200 meters and then turn right, and follow the cycle track (Waalbandijk), the Waal harbor is to your right. 4. Follow this cycle track until you reach the factory grounds at your right hand, keep cycling until you have passed a building with DELETE written on it in huge green letters (see picture) 5. Turn right after this building, and look for the Honig tower just behind it. You have arrived at your destination. Page 2/6 From the Nijmegen station, exit at the east side, and follow the road /cycle track parallel to the train tracks in Northerly direction (red line on the map), until you have reached the tunnel. From then on, follow the directions above from point 3. How to get by train from Arnhem and Nijmegen to the meeting venue on Sunday in Ede You can get to “Ede-Wageningen” station from Arnhem and Nijmegen by train. The duration of the train ride from Arnhem to Ede-Wageningen is around 15 minutes (the cost for a single ticket is 3.8€). The trains to Arnhem to Ede run every 15 minutes. The duration of the train ride from Nijmegen to Ede-Wageningen is around 30 minutes, the cost for a single ticket is 7€. The trains to Nijmegen to Ede run every 15 minutes. The train tickets can be purchased at the stations, at the ticket counters, or online here: http://www.ns.nl/en When arriving at Ede-Wageningen, leave the station at the South side (the main exit is on the North side), follow road next to the train tracks towards the East. Do not try to walk a short cut over the parking lot at your right hand, you will get stuck /blocked by a gate. From Station “Ede-Wageningen” to “De Fietser” it is a 8 minutes’ walk: Page 3/6 Cycle routes to the meeting venue on Sunday You can get to Ede also by bike from Nijmegen (around 38 km) and Arnhem (around 19km). Cycling route from Arnhem Central Station to Ede-Wageningen: For a better guidance, you can check on your cycling path the cycling points (Knooppunt): http://www.fietsnet.be/routeplanner/default.aspx Starting point 94 (near Arhem Central Station) and finishing point 10 (near Ede Wageningen Station). Page 4/6 Cycling route from Nijmegen Central Station to Ede-Wageningen: Also, for a better guidance, you can check on your cycling path the cycling points (Knooppunt): http://www.fietsnet.be/routeplanner/default.aspx Page 5/6 Starting point 18 (near Nijmegen Central Station) and finishing point 10 (near Ede Wageningen Station) ACCOMMODATION Due to the interconnection with Velo-city and all the decentralized events, AGM organizers refrain from designating one official accommodation. We recommend two options: 1) Hotel Haarhuis - is across the station in Arnhem, a good central location for AGM and Velo-city 2017 Arnhem-Nijmegen http://www.hotelhaarhuis.nl/nl/ 2) Mercure Hotel Nijmegen Centre - is very close to the station in Nijmegen, so therefore also a good option. http://www.accorhotels.com/nl/hotel-1356-mercure-hotel-nijmegen-centre/index.shtml Page 6/6 .

    Facilitating Electric Vehicle Uptake LEPT study tour Amsterdam, Arnhem, Rotterdam 12-14 May 2019 1 Background Organising the study tour The London European Partnership for Transport (LEPT) has sat within the London Councils Transport and Mobility team since 2006. LEPT’s function is to coordinate, disseminate and help promote the sustainable transport and mobility agenda for London and London boroughs in Europe. LEPT works with the 33 London boroughs and TfL to build upon European knowledge and best practice, helping cities to work together to deliver specific transport policies and initiatives, and providing better value to London. In the context of a wider strategy to deliver cleaner air and reduce the impact of road transport on Londoners’ health, one of London Councils’ pledges to Londoners is the upscaling of infrastructures dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs), to facili- tate their uptake. As part of its mission to support boroughs in delivering this pledge and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, LEPT organised a study tour in May 2019 to allow borough officers to travel to the Netherlands to understand the factors that led the country’s cities to be among the world leaders in providing EV infrastructure. Eight funded positions were available for borough officers working on electric vehicles to join. Representatives from seven boroughs and one sub-regional partnership joined the tour as well as two officers from LEPT and an officer that worked closely on EV charging infrastructure from the London Councils Transport Policy team (Appendix 1). London boroughs London’s air pollution is shortening lives and improving air quality in the city is a priority for the London boroughs.

    Title: Study Visit Energy Transition in Arnhem Nijmegen City Region and the Cleantech Region Together with the Province of Gelderland and the AER, ERRIN Members Arnhem Nijmegen City Region and the Cleantech Region are organising a study visit on the energy transition in Gelderland (NL) to share and learn from each other’s experiences. Originally, the study visit was planned for October 31st-November 2nd 2017 but has now been rescheduled for April 17-19 2018. All ERRIN members are invited to participate and can find the new programme and registration form online. In order to ensure that as many regions benefit as possible, we kindly ask that delegations are limited to a maximum of 3 persons per region since there is a maximum of 20 spots available for the whole visit. Multistakeholder collaboration The main focus of the study visit, which will be organised in cooperation with other interregional networks, will be the Gelders’ Energy agreement (GEA). This collaboration between local and regional industries, governments and NGOs’ in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands, has pledged for the province to become energy-neutral by 2050. It facilitates a co-creative process where initiatives, actors, and energy are integrated into society. a A bottom-up approach The unique nature of the GEA resides in its origin. The initiative sprouted from society when it faced the complex, intricate problems of the energy transition. The three initiators were GNMF, the Gelders’ environmental protection association, het Klimaatverbond, a national climate association and Alliander, an energy network company. While the provincial government endorses the project, it is not a top-down initiative.

  • Exploring the Value of a Transnational, Reciprocal and Multi-Stakeholder Approach to the Migration-Development Nexus
    Exploring the Value of a Transnational, Reciprocal and Multi-Stakeholder Approach to the Migration-Development Nexus. Case Study: TRANSCODE Programme by Lothar Smith (Radboud University, Nijmegen), Fabio Baggio (Scalabrini International Migration Institute, Rome) and Ton van Naerssen (Avanna Consultancy, Nijmegen ) Abstract There is a prevailing bias, even amongst the actors directly involved, to consider activities falling under the migration-development banner as bipolar engagements, i.e. activities linking a country of origin of migrants to their country of present residence. Such conceptualisations assume the nation-state as the default frame of reference. Whilst progress has certainly been made towards a necessary sophistication of migration related issues in policy thinking and related academic research, the migration-development nexus remains something still often considered as essentially something to approach within a singular or bipolar nation-state framework. This can be seen in studies of potential policy interventions related to transnational flows such as human capital transfers, remittance flows and community development projects initiatives. Taking the case of the Transnational Synergy for Cooperation and Development (TRANSCODE) Programme, and focusing on empirical insights gained with this programme in relation to its conceptual underpinnings, we explore alternative modes of incorporating migration and development. This article thus seeks to provide insights in opportunities for alternative initiatives resulting out of cross-fertilization of experiences and ideas between migrant organisations and other actors engaged in migration and development efforts. Keywords: transnational development, multi-stakeholder initiatives, migration & development Introduction In June 2010 a five-day workshop was held in our to learn from each other practices in the Tagaytay City, The Philippines under the banner field of international migration and to critically of the TRANSCODE programme.

  • The Spatial Strategies of the Urban Elites in Mediaeval Nijmegen: Combining Territories with Networks
    The spatial strategies of the urban elites in mediaeval Nijmegen: combining territories with networks Kees Terlouw (corresponding author) Department of Human Geography & Spatial Planning Faculty of Geosciences Utrecht University PO Box 80115 NL 3508 TC Utrecht Netherlands [email protected] Job Weststrate Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Groningen Netherlands [email protected] Introduction: medieval urban elites and development theory The Middle Ages is used in many theories on social development as the prelude to modernity.1 These narratives focus on the contradictions between rural feudalism and urban 1 autonomy. The subsequent development of territorial states is seen as key component in the transformation of these fragmented traditional societies and as the starting point of their modernisation. Development is traditionally conceived as the development of separate states, which all travel along the same path towards modernisation, although with different starting points and with varying speeds.2 There is a wide variety of explanations of the differences in development between states. Some focus differences in natural resources, others on class-structure, political history or cultural characteristics. These differences hide a basic agreement that neatly bounded states are the units of analysis to study social and economic development. The current mosaic of separate nation-states is the dominant framework from which social change is studied. Even many alternatives to modernisation theory, still fall into the territorial trap of studying development within the fixed territorial containers of entire nation-states3. They fall into what Saskia Sassen calls the endogeneity trap of limiting the analyses to the subject studied4.

IN MEMORIAM Prof. Dr. W.J.Th. Peters (Loo bij Duiven 28 February 1919 - Nijmegen 31 May 2005) After some difficult years of burdensome old age, Wim Peters quietly passed away at the end of May 2005. He will be remembered by many former students as an excellent teacher who succeeded in com- municating classical archaeology with passion, even to those who were more interested in other aspects of antiquity or in art history. The son of a farmer in the area north of the river Rhine, close to the German border, he chose to study Classics in the nearby Catholic University at Nijmegen instead of his beloved field of art history, because of what he took to be the greater opportunities provided by a Classics degree to find a job in the future. His studies started in 1938, but were badly interrupted, firstly during troop mobilisation in the year preceding the outbreak of World War II in 1939, and secondly by much more serious expe- riences during the war itself. He was taken captive and transferred to a work-camp near Leipzig, from where he was later taken to a concentration camp in France for having helped French prisoners-of-war.
