Eura Conference 2020-2021 EURA 2021 - Online conference on "Contradictions Shaping Urban Futures", 6-7 May, 2021
Dear EURA Members and wider community,
We have informed you, in our previous newsletter and through the dedicated website that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the EURA 2020 conference planned for Oslo last June was cancelled.
This was a disappointment to all of us, but EURA is bouncing back with an online conference on the same topic on 6-7 May 2021.
The 2020 conference received a lot of papers, especially within Track 2: Sustainable vs unsustainable urban development and growth vs de-growth.
A focussed and smaller scale online event will take place, based around the papers submitted to Track 2 of the 2020 conference, organized by OSLOMET, University of OSLO, and The Oslo School of Architecture on 6-7 May 2021.
Participants to track 2 with accepted abstracts have got a personal invitation to resubmit, revise or write a new abstract within the same topic.
The conference welcome a wide audience and participation is free of charge. Please visit the webpage: https://bit.ly/3cvE5h4
For other scholars who had papers accepted for other tracks in the Oslo 2020 conference we apologise for not being able to accommodate you in the May 2021 online conference. We intend, however, to organise other online EURA conferences in the future so please look out for future announcements
EURA Conversations and the COVID-19 pandemic - please consider contributing to this series.
Launched in May 2020 the EURA Conversations platform has provided a space for urban studies scholars from across Europe (and beyond) to share reflections on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cities, as well as on different communities within cities... And the platform provides a space to begin to explore the implications of the pandemic for the future of urban studies.
In 2020 fifteen contributions were posted and the insights presented came from eleven different countries. This is most encouraging as it suggests that the platform is providing an important opportunity for scholars from different countries to share ideas and insights.
EURA Conversations will continue to provide up to date and insightful contributions once every two weeks direct to EURA members. To see the contributions posted so far please visit:

We hope you think that this platform is informative.
