Launch of the JPI Urban Europe SRIA 2.0 foregrounding dilemmas
The SRIA 2.0, with priorities for 2020-2026, has been refurbished with a view to issues and concerns in the wake of international policies. In this light and to enhance urban transformation capacities and expertise, JPI Urban Europe has identified a need to foreground dilemmas in four transition areas and the wicked issues emerging in their pathways.

Join the JPI Urban Europe community
We invite you to explore the dilemma driven-approach and define the first steps towards implementation of the SRIA 2.0. Join urban practitioners and policymakers, rese­archers, European institutions and organisations and engage in discussions and networking. Listen to city leaders describe how experimentation, socio-technical innovation and stakeholder involvement can play an important role in local urban transition strategies. Together with other participants, apply your own knowledge and experience in interactive break-out sessions.

The SRIA 2.0 will be launched at the day of the conference and made available at the website. In conjunction with the conference, other events such as a Walkshop and meetings within the Making Cities Work call, the Urban Europe Research Alliance and the SET Plan PEN Programme will be arranged.

The conference is co-hosted by the European Committee of the Regions and European Commission DG RTD. Break-out sessions are set up in collaboration with partnerships of the Urban Agenda for the EU and other networks and organisations. 

Target group:
This conference welcomes all actors interested in sustainable urban development, such as policy-makers, mayors, city administration, urban practitioners, urban experts and researchers, representatives from Member States, Brussels-based urban networks and European institutions dealing with urban matters.
