The third phase of the EU funded International Urban and Regional Cooperation programme in North America (IURC NA) aims to lead and develop a form of decentralised international urban and regional cooperation in sustainable urban development, in key partner countries and regions in line with the external dimension of “Europe 2020.” Based on the capitalisation of results and lessons learned from the previous phases (2016-2023), the new programme optimises the added-value of international cooperation.
“IURC is about more than signing agreements, is about practical implementation of concrete focused projects. Is a functional platform of cooperation between stakeholders from business, governments and research institutions where they get together to implement actions and make a difference for the future”
– Rudolf Niessler, Principal Advisor for International Relations, DG REGIO, European Commission.
