Feedback from Mongolia
Conference… „… was significantly crucial to public education, Smart city researchers from
different sciences, and government policymakers“
„… is a pioneer event that touches the smart city component“
„… a great chance to exchange ideas, give an honest comment to each other’s work and studies as a scientist or as an ordinary citizen“
„there are very fewer youths and young scientists who participated in the conference. In the future, please use some popular media channels among youths like UNREAD, Gogo, Twitter, more“

Feedback from Mongolia
Smart Mongolian City development many intelligent people working and researching for our city's common
issues like air pollution, waste management, traffic congestions, purifying drinking water, and city culture.
number of good quality scientists and the big and long-term permanent research work were scarce
limited grants and funds for such kind of research study
lack of public education and a clear understanding of smart city concepts among the public
Ulaanbaatar smart city concept is a very early stage of development
we need more collaboration between the academic, government and private sectors
we should organize such events in the future once a year. Then we have a chance to improve government policy, nationwide programs based on scientific study’s recommendation.
Christian Rahmig, Chunsriimyatav Ganbaatar 21
Conclusion
Travelling Conference is a tool
To enable exchange between scientists from different countries
To include private business into scientific activities
To make a scientific topic public visible
To build up a network for cooperation
To trigger realization of applied sciences in daily life
Bring your research topic and results from university desk out into the streets and into everyday life…
Christian Rahmig, Chunsriimyatav Ganbaatar 22
… to make changes happen.
