JPI Urban Europe welcomes all currently running JPI Urban Europe projects to a cross-call projects meeting and combined ENSUF Final Event. The meeting is for projects and stakeholders in the following calls:
- Sustainable and Liveable Cities and Urban Areas
- Making Cities Work
- Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus
- ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures Call (ENSUF)
When? 29 September, 10.00- 16.00 (CEST)
Where? Via Zoom (a meeting link has been provided via e-mail to all successfully registered participants)
For whom? All currently running JPI Urban Europe projects and involved Funding Agencies across calls
Why? The aim of the meeting is to exchange knowledge, discuss how (expected) results can best create impact in cities, work on projects impact and find partners for future activities. The ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures (ENSUF) projects has run between 2017-2020 and the Projects Meeting marks their Final Event. It is a good opportunity to learn from finalised projects and for projects across different calls, and at different stages, to exchange experiences.
If your are part of an ongoing JPI Urban Europe supported project, you should have received an invitation via e-mail. Please share the invitation with your consortium partners and jointly agree on up to five participants from your ENSUF project, or up to three representatives if your project is part of another call than ENSUF, to join the event. Participation of at least one representative of a city/municipal partner or other stakeholder (NGO/business) is highly recommended. The event is mandatory for ENSUF projects.
Are you a funding agency or representative from a city, business or NGO related to one of the calls? This event is an opportunity to learn in-depth how results can be applied and exchange in impact-focused workshops where research and innovation meet. How can stakeholders and projects make use of project results on an aggregated and synthesized level?
