Sustainable Cities: How the Circular Economy transforms Berlin
June 29, 2017 @ 9:00 PM - June 30, 2017 @ 12:30 AM
This special edition of Sustainability Drinks will mark the opening of this year’s OSCEdays. Join us and our inspiring speakers to exchange about Circular Cities.
There will be no more waste in the city of tomorrow. What sounds like an utopian vision will be explored during this year’s OSCEdays from June 29-July 2. OSCE stands for Open Source Circular Economy and pursues the idea of a sustainable future in which less garbage is created and the economy works in symbiosis with the environment and natural resources. Through a wide range of interactive activities, workshops and lectures the participants will learn what open source and circular economy means for their everyday life, their neighborhood and the city of tomorrow.

COMSA is a certified, biodynamic, self-sustainable Fairtrade Coffee Cooperative, an international school and a social movement in Marcala, Honduras. Through the philosophy "La Finca Humana" they are not only cultivating their farms, but their minds, and are planting a new society in Honduras. An online map and directory of the resources and locations in Berlin promoting local food, urban farming and sustainable initiatives. Our team of four researchers is implementing a simulator for micro-grids, or small to medium sized electric-powered grids. In particular, I am developing a web-app based simulator that allows the user to experiment with different components, such as PV, Wind turbines and Heat Pumps. The simulation prepares the ideal ecological and environmental pairing based on weather data, price signals and matrix solvers. We are hoping to gather interest in the project and demo in the months to come ! Thanks 🙂 Quickpitches of this event

Berlin Food Directory
I'd like to pitch the project to make people aware of it, our new website is currently being built and I'd like to invite people to reach out to me so they can be included in the directory. The Berlin food directory is a non-profit, independent and volunteer-based resource to help the visibility of the people and places involved in this field in Berlin.DFKI (German Institute for Artificial Intelligence)
