Innovating Cities with Nature and Culture - Stakeholder Partnership event on 20th October 2015

Aug 26, 2015

The European Commission is organising a Stakeholder Partnership event on 20 October 2015 to facilitate networking, information exchange and cross-border partnerships of actors interested in addressing urban challenges through innovating with nature or by making innovative use of cultural heritage assets for regenerating cities.

In the autumn, under the Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 5: 'Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials', work programme for 2016-17, the European Commission will launch new calls for large-scale demonstration projects in cities as living-labs for nature-based solutions for climate and water resilience and cultural heritage as a driver for sustainable development.

The stakeholder event will be an occasion for stakeholders from cities and regional authorities (mayors, planners etc.), the private sector (in the area of construction, landscape and building architecture, water management, insurance, etc.), civil society organisations, and of course research organisations to meet and discuss urban demonstration activities (urban living labs) and broaden the scope of cross-sectorial partnerships.

For further information and registration visit the Horizon 2020 website.
