In preparation of the Driving Urban Transitions programme, we would like to invite you to share your perspectives with us. Show us how the urban challenges you are addressing in your work are reflected in the proposal. Highlight what implementation measures you find appropriate to take the next steps towards urban transitions. All responses until 15 April will be proceeded and discussed in the AGORA Dialogue in Innsbruck. Click here to access the public consultation. 

Background

10 years after the inauguration of JPI Urban Europe, we can look back at seven joint calls (three in cooperation with the European Commission) and more to come, over 85 funded projects bringing together 450 project partners throughout Europe and the world, an active AGORA community, among other achievements. After 10 years, it is the time for JPI Urban Europe to step up the game and increase efforts and activities to Drive Urban Transitions towards a Sustainable and Livable Future. We would like to invite you to join us into this next phase of the urban transitions journey.

It is time to step up the game to make these transformations a reality, to benefit from all this knowledge and evidence and bring research and innovation into action. For that reason, JPI Urban Europe is working together with the European Commission on a longer term programme called „Driving Urban Transitions towards a Sustainable and Livable Urban Future“. This programme aligns European and Member State’s efforts to build a critical mass for urban transitions.
