The project partnership consists of 5 organisations from 5 countries, each with a direct interest in using the project’s output to further their engagement with the cities they are located. Made up of prominent public higher education institutions in the cities of Porto, Ljubljana, Barcelona, and Paris, and supported with the leading Europe-wide network organisation University Industry Innovation Network (UIIN), the consortium brings valuable knowledge and network links that will contribute significantly to the project aims.
The partner HEIs are selected among the cities that already have an integrated urban renewal strategy, and who work towards addressing various environmental, economic, and social challenges. All the partners involved in the project strategically position their responsibilities towards sustainable urban development and promotion of social entrepreneurship in the city and region in their mission/vision and respective activities.
