Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe

Cities and urban areas need to be transformed into regenerative, robust, and liveable places to respond to the climate crisis and enhance urban liveability for all. JPI Urban Europe’s task is to connect public authorities, civil society, scientists, innovators, business, and industry to provide an effective environment for research and innovation to contribute to urban transformation processes. This transformation isn’t easily achieved; it requires urgent transnational attention in the fields of urban innovation and technological development. JPI Urban Europe responds to this urgency by committing itself to ambitious intra- and interdisciplinary research on a transnational scale. We function as a gateway and a hub for urban research, facilitating research on a scale which simply could not be carried out by any one nation alone.
