JPI URBAN EUROPE - Status Report

01DESCRIPTION

The Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) URBAN EUROPE is a research and innovation initiative of EU Member States and Associated Countries.
It was established in 2010 within the concept and framework of Joint Programming which was proposed by the European Commission and established by the Council of the European Union in 2008. URBAN EUROPE aims to rethink and manage the increasing urban orientation and concentration in Europe in order to create and exploit synergy in an urbanised Europe, from an economic, social, environmental and transport-related perspective, leading to a strengthened global position of Europe.

In March 2011, the JPI URBAN EUROPE provided its Status Report.
