Centres of Expertise

U!REKA applied research and innovation activities are organised in three Centres of Expertise (CoE). The objectives of these Centres are to integrate and strengthen existing research frameworks of the alliance, to share best practices in research and innovation and to bring together the research strengths of U!REKA partners to create shared knowledge and purposeful impact.

Knowledge-creating community

The U!REKA knowledge-creating community is a vital platform for collaboration and peer exchange. It identifies and prioritizes the challenges urban stakeholders encounter on the path to climate-neutral, resilient, inclusive, and circular societies. These challenges shape U!REKA’s research and innovation focus.
