Impressive Smart Limerick at Limerick Innovation Virtual Event (Part 1)

On the 25th and 26th of October the City of Bragança held a Transnational Meeting on the Policy challenge “Innovative and Smart Business”. This TNM was only the first part of the event focused on smart and innovative cities, as Limerick City and County Council presented their innovative and smart city strategy and actions during this virtual study visit on the 9th and 10th of December 2021. The planning of this Virtual Study Visit as evolved into the very first ever Limerick Innovation Live Event (LIVE), a public event to showcase Limerick as a Smart City. Limerick is rich in talent and hosts many leading areas of expertise and practice – including some of the leading global technology, medical and pharma companies as well as globally significant research and education facilities. Find Your Greatness project partners heard about innovation from ULG members such as DELL Technologies, University of Limerick, Technical University of the Shannon, Analog Devices, and others. The event also contained the Limerick Small Scale Action. We introduced the Limerick Makers Club and FabLab, who demonstrated that innovation in Limerick is not trapped behind the walls of Intellectual Property, but a living aspect of the City.

URBACT wünscht frohe Weihnachten und freut sich auf ein spannendes Jahr 2022!

2021 war erneut ein turbulentes Jahr: Beruflicher wie privater Alltag standen für viele weiterhin unter großen Beeinträchtigungen aufgrund der Corona-Pandemie. Dabei lebt gerade die Arbeit im Kontext von URBACT von Reisen, Netzwerken und Austausch mit Kolleg:innen aus ganz Europa. Dass diese schönen Facetten der URBACT-Netzwerkarbeit ein weiteres Jahr sehr eingeschränkt waren, ist sehr schade und wir hoffen alle, dass wir im nächsten Jahr wieder mehr von dieser besonderen URBACT-Atmosphäre erleben können!

Feeding a Cooperative Food Network in a Time of Pandemic

This article presents brief comments on three ideas that describe the state of mind of the FOOD CORRIDORS network just before giving way to the final period of a project that has seen the light and grown parallel to the life cycle of a pandemic. It has been a strange circumstance that we would nevertheless like to consider as the engine that has pushed a desire for rebirth or rejuvenation for our network. We understand this rebirth as the means to cultivate new ways of working, new spaces of relationship, environments of curiosity that generate transformative action to the proposed problems. The FOOD CORRIDORS partners, together with the network's experts and the URBACT Programme, have evaluated what we have experienced, what we have learned, and what we would like to propose to continue with the challenge of cooperation between European cities in the face of their significant challenges.
