The Wageningen Ambassador Fund, part of University Fund Wageningen, an independent philanthropic foundation with a collaboration relationship with Wageningen University & Research has made a donation of €30.000 to GreenfieldCities. The world class Wageningen University community can play an important role for GreenfieldCities, as there is a close fit with the core competences and mission of Wageningen University & Research in the fields of sustainability, food, water and social economic resilience, to name but a few. The donation will be used to build out the GreenfieldCities organization and for preparing a pilot project in Jordan.
GreenfieldCities and Wageningen University & Research are developing a teaming agreement on setting up task forces, made up of refugee talent and university community members. Those task forces will work on detailed development plans for our projects and cities. Wageningen University Alumni will support GreenfieldCities in the months to come.
