UIA is an Initiative of the European Union that provides urban areas throughout Europe with resources to test new and unproven solutions to address urban challenges.
What kind of projects does UIA fund?
UIA funds projects that are:
- Innovative: be bold, creative and propose a project that has never been implemented anywhere else in Europe. Demonstrate that applicant idea is experimental and not part of their normal activities.
- Participative: involve the key stakeholders that will bring expertise and knowledge to applicants project, both during the design and the implementation phase of a project.
- Of good quality: define realistic ambitions, coherent activities and effective management. A logically interlinked work plan, a coherent and proportionate budget as well as effective management arrangements will make things happen.
- Measurable: how will applicant describe the change they want to see in their local situation if the project is successful? How would applicants measure this change? Defining clear results that can be measured and quantified is key.
- Transferable: address an urban challenge that can be relevant to other urban authorities in Europe, draw lessons on their experiment and share them with a wider audience of policy makers and practitioners.
