Webinar featuring the ECIU-Urban Transformations Collaboratory
The "ECIU-Urban Transformations Collaboratory" project is a one-year Seed Project which is part of the European Consortium of Innovative Universitites (ECIU). The project brings together academic and societal partners from 4 ECIU Institutes, building on established collaboration with focus on societal transformation, citizen engagement, viable and smart cities. The project explores a palette of local and regional challenges together with societal partners in Norrköping/Linköping, Stavanger, Enschede, and Barcelona, aiming to achieve SDG 11 – sustainable cities and communities. The project consortium aims to design a virtual testbed - a Distributed Living Lab, to strengthen the capacities of initiatives for urban sustainability transformations through cross-case learning, building on existing research and innovation initiatives run by ECIU partners and their regional ecosystems.
This webinar aims to present the results of the ECIU-UTC project with contribution from all partners, focusing on the cross-case learning activities of the project.
