Urban ERA-NET - coordination of the funding of urban research in Europe
Objective
Its objectives are to:
- plan and implement trans-national and trans-regional activities to identify and address shared requirements for research into sustainable urban development
- champion coordinated urban research in Europe through the mutual research programmes and joint planning of associated activities (e.g. workshops)
- coordinate dissemination of existing knowledge, practical experience (e.g. good practice) and applications of research.
The network will:
- exchange information on urban research programmes and identify good practice
- identify and analyse common strategic issues
- plan and develop joint activities between programmes
- implement joint trans-national research funding activities including common calls.
The URBAN-NET will deliver:
- a basis for disseminating the outcomes of existing urban research
- a searchable, web-based database of urban research programmes in Europe
- cross-cultural comparisons of recent urban research
- a structured transnational resource facilitating expert evaluation of research
- one pilot and at least one full joint call for research proposals funded by multiple countries leading to durable trans-national cooperation.
The URBAN-NET will help integrate EU, national and regional research. The financial impact is striking: euro50m. URBAN-NET will address the long-term European agenda for urban research. It will increase the exchange of experience between research programmes, improve scope for comparability, and enhance research capacity.
