The Urban Imprint project concludes its two years of research with the launch of its main outcome: a practical guide designed to facilitate collaboration between academia and local governments.
The Urban Imprint Toolkit is now available for free download. This document consolidates the insights and lessons learned from consortium partners in Spain, France, Poland, Portugal, Austria, and Belgium.
This resource is structured into three key sections designed for university managers, municipal staff, and researchers:
- Pilot Experiences: Analysis of real-life collaboration cases across 5 European countries.
- Methods & Tools: A practical compilation of formats (such as Civic Labs) to align PhD and Master’s theses with Urban Agendas.
- Policy Recommendations: A roadmap for integrating these practices into institutional strategies.
The document fulfills the project’s objective of offering Open Access solutions that are transferable to any territory within the EU.
To learn more about the project, explore other results, or view the activities carried out over the past two years, please visit the official project website, where you can also find the Toolkit in English, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian.
