EUROCITIES webinar on Urban Innovative Actions call

EUROCITIES has organised an information webinar on the newly launched 2015 Urban Innovative Action call.

This call will be worth EUR 80 Mio in total and will be focused on the following four topics:

• Energy transition

• Urban Poverty (with a focus on deprived urban neighborhoods)

• The inclusion of migrants and refugees

• Jobs and skills in the local economy

The Urban Innovative Actions initiative has been created to test new approaches to the challenges faced by urban authorities. The total budget is EUR 371 Mio over the period 2015-2020. Projects will be selected through calls for proposals with an ERDF contribution which shall not exceed EUR 5 Mio per project, a unique co-financing rate of maximum 80% and duration of 3 years maximum.

On 14 January starting from 11.00 EUROCITIES members will be able to ask question on the possible format and themes of their project proposals, to Raffaele Barbato, Project Coordinator at the UIA secretariat.

In case you would like to ask very specific questions related to a project proposal you are developing, you can already e-mail them to anja.decunto@eurocities.eu .
