URBACT Programme
The 2026 URBACT University will take place in Cork, Ireland on 25-27 August 2026. URBACT's flagship capacity-building event on stakeholder engagement and participatory approaches will gather representatives of current URBACT Transfer Networks.
The URBACT University is a large transnational training providing URBACT network partners and their local stakeholders with tools and methods to develop integrated and participatory approaches for the design and implementation of urban policies.
What will you gain by attending?
The URBACT University is designed to equip hundreds of city practitioners involved in Transfer Networks with methodologies and tools that will be useful for the development of your Transfer Plans.
Joining the URBACT University will prepare you for the next steps of your Transfer Network journey: you will develop your professional skills and get to know a variety of tools helpful to meaningfully engage stakeholders in your URBACT project. You will also meet your network partners in person and develop contacts with many European cities in the Transfer Network community. Ultimately, you will strengthen your skills in participatory and integrated policy-making, all in a playful, creative learning environment.
Prepare to make an impact and become a changemaker for your city!
What’s on the agenda?
Get ready for three full days where we gather for active learning and networking!
The programme brings together collaborative group work, practical exploration of tools for your networks, and plenty of moments to learn from one another. You’ll connect with peers from across Europe, hear inspiring stories and head out on study visits to see how things work on the ground in Cork.
The invitation to register was sent out to the city representatives from Transfer Networks.
