Welcome to EURA

At a time when global forces are strengthening and localism struggles to reassert itself, there is a need to re-examine the place which cities take in the social and economic order and this is what EURA aims to achieve. This web site provides information about the origins of EURA, its aims and objectives and its charter. It also gives information about past and present EURA events, including conferences and workshops. Look also at our 'About EURA' section to see that the future is largely urban.

Don't forget, of course, to visit our EURA expertise section aimed at stimulating networking and funding opportunities in urban research.

The last EURA Conference, on City Futures in a Globalising World, was held in Madrid on 4 - 6 June 2009. Jointly organised with the US-based Urban Affairs Association (UAA) this was a major international conference.
