Join JPI Urban Europe

Joint Programming is a collaborative approach to research and innovation in which countries come together to define a common vision, a strategic research agenda and agree on joint actions, in order to address the ‘grand challenges’ society is facing. These urban challenges are considered beyond the scope and resources of any one country to tackle and would benefit from a coordinated approach to research and innovation.

In this sense JPI Urban Europe fosters not only an alignment of research programmes and strategies but provides an environment for bottom-up driven engagement of various urban actors.
