Applications now open for city-to-city exchanges

The Call for Applications for City-to-City exchanges is now open, providing support to urban authorities in addressing implementation challenges related to sustainable urban development.

The purpose of the European Urban Initiative’s city-to-city exchange is to improve the ability of the applicant to tackle its identified challenge through a process of peer learning.

If selected, applicants have the opportunity to receive practical knowledge and know-how tailored to their identified challenge through in-person visits with a peer city. The peer cities share new working methods and innovative approaches on specific implementation challenges.

Peer cities profit from the exchange in terms of networking and may also improve their capacities by increasing their understanding of how their working methods and innovative approaches may be applied in different contexts.

Support is available for those applying in the form of application packs, information webinars, bilateral consultations, email support and peer introduction requests. Further information on the support available can be found here.

The deadline for the applications is 17 November 2023 at 12:00 CET. Applications may be submitted on a rolling basis and approved for implementation as soon as 4 weeks later.
