URBAN-NET - Supporting urban sustainability research in Europe 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.
