Record outcome as the URBACT Action Network call closes with 90 applications!

Edited on 24/06/2026

The new URBACT Action Network (AN) call closed on June 17 after three months of information-giving, match-making and building consortia between European towns and cities.

The call generated a whopping 90 applications, bringing together some 632 European cities and towns from 33 countries. 

Some other key figures in the call:

-Over 28,000 visits to the call webpage
-116 project proposals uploaded to the Partner Search tool
-31 information sessions organised throughout Europe including one in Dublin

Among the 90 applications, there are 12 which include a partner from Ireland. We are delighted with these initial results and look forward to the outcome of the call in late October. 

A first of its type, the approved ANs will work towards implementing existing plans and strategies through local testing actions.
