Summary

My URBACT journey started over 10 years ago. Working with people from a variety of European cities, learning, being inspired by examples of urban innovations, experiencing the URBACT method in action got me hooked.

Since then I have been involved with URBACT as an ad-hoc expert in AP and TN networks (Romanet, TechRevolution 1 and TechRevolution 2), as a facilitator of National Campus seminars, as a lab manager at URBACT Summer Universities (in Dublin and in Rotterdam), trainer at e-University events. As an LE, I have supported the AP journey of 9 European cities in Thriving Streets network (focusing on sustainable urban mobility for more attractive cities), worked in capitalisation initiatives, even have been an MC at the URBACT City Festival in Lisbon.  

I have seen a number of positive examples (including my own hometown’s) where being part of an URBACT network triggered an important change process in a city. Contributing to such positive changes, helping to solve specific challenges in cities is important for me and URBACT offers this opportunity.

  • C4TALENT

    C4TALENT is about creating a business & startup friendly environment in cities to lessen the effects of brain drain, attracting and retaining talented young professionals. Offering funding, physical infrastructure like co working spaces and incubators, and the city itself as a testbed are all effective methods. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution: each city needs to design its own unique combination of key aspects for a local startup ecosystem.

  • Tech Revolution

    TechRevolution, an URBACT Transfer Network, provides an opportunity for six cities from across the EU to get under the skin of an URBACT Good Practice developed and delivered in Barnsley UK which centres around two main pillars (below) as well as some spin-off activities. • Enterprising Barnsley - a successful business support programme; • The Digital Media Centre (DMC) - a landmark hub for creative and digital business in the town centre. It enables these cities to come together to study every element of the practice in a safe and honest space, to consider their own local contexts and strategic priorities and then to adapt different aspects of what Barnsley has done within their local setting. See the full Tech-Revolution Transferability Study here.
