Stakeholder Workshop 4
"Transnational Research on Urban Sustainable
Development", Stockholm City Museum, Stockholm, 17 & 18
November 2009
The 4th stakeholder workshop on a theme of added value and the
integrated approach in urban research was held at the City Museum
of Stockholm, 17th - 18th November. In addition to attendance by
representatives of URBAN-NET partner organisations, networks and
stakeholders we were pleased to meet many of the researchers funded
by the first URBAN-NET pilot call and hear about project progress
to date.
Participants also heard from:
- DG Research on FP7 Environment theme funding programmes and developments;
- A new Swedish centre of excellence for urban sustainable development; and
- Joanneum Research, Austria, on a Joint Programme Initiative proposal for “Cities of the Future / Transport”
"Added value" from transnational research and an
"integrated approach" to research on urban sustainability
were the main concepts discussed during two parallel sessions.
During a third session on day 2, Programme Managers discussed
future funding of urban sustainability research while researchers
discussed complementarities and synergies across the research
projects and knowledge exchange options. These included publication
of a research anthology, creation of short videos and engagement in
a proposed networking event to be hosted by URBAN-NET at the World
Urban Forum in Rio de Janeiro March 2010.
The full programme for the Stakeholder Workshop and copies
of the presentations given are below. The
conference report will be available soon.
