However, as a public entity, the university is subject to the rules concerning an open and transparent administration.

It is therefore important that tenderers, in advance, clearly state, what information the tenderer wishes to be kept confidential.

With reference to all information concerning DTU which is not public knowledge, with which the tenderer becomes acquainted with during the tender, tenderers must equally ensure complete confidentiality in relation to third parties. Tenderers must ensure that any and all sub suppliers also accept to handle information confidentially. 3 Legal framework Code Reference description XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXX [BEK-789] “Bekendtgørelse om assessorer i forbindelse med forsøg med selvkørende motorkøretøjer”, BEK nr. 789 af 16/06/2017, Transport- Bygning og Boligministeriet. https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0710.aspx?id=192104 [LOV-696] Færdselsloven som ændret ved: Lov om ændring af færdselsloven, LOV https://www.retsinformation.dk/forms/R0710.aspx?id=191638 nr. 696 af 08/06/2017, Transport- Bygning og Boligministeriet [FS-VEJL] Vejledning til ansøgning om forsøg med selvkørende motorkøretøjer.

We were not entirely sure what we had started. We knew that we had given half of the museum’s exhibition area to children for almost a year, so they could experience free play and a new interpretation of the legendary The Model of 1968. But we had not dared to hope that the children would embrace The Model so wholeheartedly, bringing it to life and transforming it from a play- ground into an artwork, from an exhibition into a place. At ARKEN we have a strong focus on participation, people at play, and the role of the museum in society.

February to 13. June 2013 Project group: UPM42013-9 Supervisor: Birgitte Hoffmann Copies: 2 Pages: 99 pages including appendix Appendices: Author: ______________________________ Meherun Nahar ii An analysis of institutional capacity for climate change adaptation in the Copenhagen area Abstract The report is based on the question ´How do different municipalities in HOFOR develop their own plan to implement climate change adaptation?´ Therefore focus will be on to find out what approaches that municipalities follow for climate change adaptation and how they relate these approaches with national adaptation strategy. Moreover the project will identify how municipalities work with other municipalities and how they divide their tasks among them regarding climate change adaptation. Besides, the project will identify how different municipalities cooperate with HOFOR and finally it will investigate how different municipalities engage people and other stakeholders in climate change adaptation. The report is based on multiple case studies where each municipality working with HOFOR is an individual case. The report is an exploratory one. The analysis is based on the interviews of representative persons from different municipalities, HOFOR, Avedøre Wastewater and an water expert, municipality plans and strategies and theories of sustainable urban water management, community resilience and social assessment, institutional theory and governance, power and collaborative planning.
