Routes to Urban Research and Innovation – RURI

Routes to Urban Research and Innovation – RURI
how to make your way into Urban Europe of the Future
For urban professionals and researchers there are multiple options to participate in European research projects on urban development. An example of this is the projects of the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe (JPI Urban Europe). What is the added value of European knowledge development on urban areas? And what is the best way to participate to gain this value?
The RURI-event on Wednesday April 13 in Amsterdam will allow municipal managers, policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders to come together as part of one of the events for the Dutch presidency of the EU. The event will take place at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam.
Several speakers from European urban areas will tell about their experiences. In several parallel workshops knowledge, best practices and experiences will be shared and the focus will lie on the ‘know-how’ of European knowledge development.
What is the added value of European collaboration for knowledge development on urban areas? And which best practices are there for well-balanced urban research consortia and for knowledge strategies?
The event will take place in English.
Please note April 13, 14.00 – 19.00 hour in your calendar and sign up here.
You will receive an invitation with the full program later.
The RURI-event is an initiative of VerDuS, which aims at connecting Sustainable Cities. NWO, Platform 31 and NRPO-SIA work together in VerDuS.
