The purpose of this event is to provide:
- A forum for exchange for all projects within the ENUAC co-funded call “Innovations for Managing Sustainable Urban Accessibility”
- Information and workshops, e.g. finding commonalities between projects (for example common challenges) in a creative setting
- Presenting and discussing projects’ research results and outcomes
- Wider dissemination of the results at the Urban Futures conference
- In addition, we invite you to join the Urban Futures conference: The Better-Cities Event, 21-23 May at no extra cost (tickets are provided for free). Please find more information below. Participants however need to pay for travels and hotels.
Important note
We expect 2-4 partners to travel to Lodz for the final event.
Please be aware that this event is by invitation only. Community building within the program is an important aim of the event, and the invitation is therefore limited to researchers actively involved in the funded projects and their partners from outside academia also involved in the projects, as well as the involved ENUAC National funding agencies and experts from the European Commission.
