Transnational Cooperation
URBAN-NET
FCT is a member of URBAN-NET (2006-2010), an ERA-NET project where 15 European research agencies from 12 countries and UN-HABITAT seek best practice as a basis for cooperation in order to strengthen European research and to support the structuring of the European Research Area (ERA).
This particular project aims at setting up efficient trans-national cooperation in the field of Urban Sustainability research funding. Also contributing to the EU Strategy, URBAN-NET will allow the funding agencies to collate existing activities, compare future strategies and recommendations of consultive bodies and systematically explore opportunities for future collaboration.
One of the main objectives is the implementation of common strategies for funding transnational research projects in relevant topics in the area of Urban Sustainability.
