Uccrn Education Sharing tools and methods for bridging the gaps between science and climate-resilient urban design and planning
The UCCRN_edu is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership, launched by world-leading Higher Education Institutions which include members of the Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN), an international consortium dedicated to foster multidisciplinary knowledge-based cross-sectoral action on climate change mitigation and adaptation from an urban perspective. The Partnership, together with the Associated Partners including leading international research and education institutions and networks, aims to develop an educational alliance to train the next generation of urban climate professionals to navigate the complexity of the interconnected knowledge domains linked to urban climate action in research, urban design and policymaking.
The final UCCRN_edu Multiplier Event will take place on 8-9 November 2024 in Napoli (Italy), hosted by the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples Federico II and is aimed at providing training on key project results delivered by the Erasmus+ KA220 action UCCRN_edu “Climate Resilient Design, Planning and Governance of Cities”. A public dissemination event will showcase project results and discuss opportunities for a continued collaboration with EU and Global partners of the project to capitalize UCCRN_edu methods and tools for innovating higher education curricula aimed at training the next generation of urban practitioners through multidisciplinary knowledge and transversal skills.
An International Symposium will deepen topics related to multi hazard resilience: a panel discussion will bring together a set of core members from UCCRN_edu partners and associated partners, as well as representatives from other sister projects in EU, such as Horizon Europe UP2030 and KNOWING.
As its closing act on November 9 UCCRN_edu chooses Legambiente event “Shout Out for Climate Change” (https://www.legambiente.it/) to make its voice heard by the Earth’s greats who will be meeting from those days for COP 29, the UN climate change conference to be held in Baku (Azerbaijan). UCCRN_edu will join Legambiente in a shout out for climate justice, which will take place at the same time throughout Italy.
