The URBAN-NET project addresses issues of urban sustainability in Europe. Its overall aim is to increase the cooperation and coordination between European Member and Associated States through networking and the collaboration on joint research activities. URBAN-NET is funded by the European Commission’s Framework 6 Programme under the European Research Area Network (ERA-NET) initiative.

URBAN-NET has wide geographical and cultural representation through its membership of 16 partners from 13 countries. The project is managed by a consortium formed by these partners and will run for four years from August 2006 to July 2010.

The project will deliver better value for money at a European level by achieving economies of scale, minimising duplication in research funding, and improving the standards of research commissioning, its management, evaluation and dissemination. URBAN-NET sets out to address the urban research agenda in Europe and will result in long-lasting transnational coordination primarily through jointly funded research programmes.

CALL FOR RESEARCH - The second URBAN-NET call for research IS NOW CLOSED. For information about the call please see the Research Call page.
