Our Activities
There are a number of activities scheduled throughout the project lifetime bringing project partners together with stakeholders and members of the Managing Authorities. These include a Kick Off meeting, 5 Working Groups Meetings, Publicity Event and a Final Conference. Partners will have the opportunity to visit some sites to gain first hand knowledge of the local challenges and actions.
STATE OF PROGRESS
We are well into the implementation phase of the REPAIR project and it has been an exciting and busy time. Partners have met together on two separate occasions with excellent outcomes and some very good exposure for the project. We have published the findings of our first Working Group Report and will soon publish it on the URBACT website for consultation.
