Call for a hosts: 2018 EURA Conference
The European Urban Research Association is looking for a host for the upcoming EURA conference 2018.

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, buy tramadol 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).
