The European Urban Research Association is looking for a host for the upcoming EURA conference 2018.
The annual EURA conference should have an overall topic of the conference which is broad enough to be attractive for EURA members with different background and interests. Within such a broad overall topic there is room for an array of more specialised parallel tracks and workshops. EURA conferences are truly interdisciplinary events and accommodate scholars from urban economics, political sciences, urban sociology, sustainability studies, geography, urban design and planning.
EURA conferences attract between 250 – 400 participants and take 2-3 days. Prior conferences have been held in Sibiu (2015), Paris (2014), Enschede (2013), Copenhagen (2012), Vienna (2011) and Darmstadt (2010). Conference topics included: City Futures, Learning Cities, The Vital City, Cities as seedbeds for innovation, and Cities in City Regions. The EURA conference 2016 takes place in Torino, EURA 2017 will be held in Warsaw.
Standard tracks that need to be at any EURA conference are in rough terms: Sustainable/resilient cities, knowledge and economic development, urban sociology, policy studies/governance, and spatial planning/architecture. The host is responsible for the organisation of the whole event (mobile workshops, selection and invitation of key notes, etc.).
As an expression of interest please send us a title, description of the topic, possible tracks, venue, an institutional profile (one page) and former experience with conference management. EURA expects a conference management according to established international standards (credit card payment, software for management of contribution such as Conftool or similar).
The conference has to consider the three goals of EURA. EURA is a network of urban scholars facilitating cross-disciplinary research and stimulating academic debate about urban issues in Europe. Aims and objectives of EURA as written in the charter are
EURA conferences are usually hosted by an institutional member of EURA.
