European
Urban REgenerators Knowledge Alliance – EUREKA

a new urban reality
A top-down approach to city planning is no longer working. A growing number
of abandoned urban spaces across Europe call for a cooperative urban transformation
where municipalities, cultural spaces and businesses work together for more
sustainable cities. Cities that benefit their citizens.
A new reality demands a new professional profile - a confident Urban
Innovator with a strong social agenda. While already in high demand on the job
market, this profile still lacks proper training and recognition in Europe.
about the project
European Urban Regenerators Knowledge
Alliance (EUREKA) is a three-year project set to create a
multidisciplinary curriculum, designed jointly by universities, cultural
practitioners and policy-makers, for a rising professional profile of urban
innovators. The project will identify needed skills and develop a training that
addresses the current job market’s demands across Europe.
The project is managed by a consortium of major universities, public and
nonprofit organisations and European network of grass-roots cultural centres.
our approach
Together we aim to design an innovative training that bridges practice with
theory and addresses current challenges of urban regeneration.
We will:
> conduct a RESEARCH on the
needs of enterprises, public administrations and community-based groups,
reaching a shared definition of the skills of urban innovators
> co-design a training
involving 4 major European universities, enterprises, public and non-profit
organisations and former students.
> carry out a pilot action to
deliver the training programme in the 4 local clusters across Europe: in Italy,
Spain, Netherlands and Romania.
> organise 3 international
learning mobilities for students and enterprises.
> run 4 living-labs across Europe
as spaces to study and work facing real life issues.
