Join us in celebrating the Transfer Networks’ successes!
Time to Share is an opportunity for 23 networks and more than 160 city partners to share their key results and findings of the transfer practice!
Below is a glimpse of what to expect in the next few months. This page will be updated regularly with more news and events until the end of the summer.
How to share urban good practices?
Cities face similar challenges wherever they are in Europe. The good news is that cities are constantly designing and implementing new solutions. The bad news is that they’re still not so good at sharing these. Why is this – and what can we do about it? To answer these questions, URBACT launched the Transfer Networks in January 2019 to re-produce 23 Good Practices.
Shaped by URBACT's method to ‘understand, adapt, re-use’ these practices, the networks have focused on very different themes ranging from public procurement to urban gardens to music schools to play. In addition, the Transfer Networks have deployed the URBACT methodological framework in different ways… Everyone learnt along the way, and it’s #TimetoShare

Here's your chance! Check out the Transfer Network Second Wave Open Call for EU cities.
URBACT is also launching a call for non-URBACT III cities to join National Transfer Practices Initiatives in Czech Republic, Estonia, Ireland, Italy, Slovakia, and Slovenia. These initiatives will be coordinated by the URBACT National Points and led by a city that has already transferred a Good Practice. All activities will be carried out at national level and in native languages.
