As part of Mistra Urban Futures Cape Town‘s Knowledge Transfer Programme, and emerging out of the Climate Change Think Tank, a third round of city/university collaboration is currently underway.
City officials who have undertaken climate change innovations in their sectors were invited to apply for two month practitioner fellowship at the University of Cape Town, hosted by the ACC. Nine officials have been selected along with academic partners from a range of disciplines at the University of Cape Town and together they will co-produce a chapter for a book.
The officials are being supported in writing up their account of policy development within their respective focus areas through workshops facilitated by Lucia Thesen and Mathilde van der Merwe, from the Centre for Higher Education Development at the University of Cape Town.
