InCITIES is a three years (October 2022 – September 2025) project that aims to achieve the transformations of HEIs and their surrounding ecosystem centred around cities’ inclusion, sustainability, and resilience needs. It addresses the European-global challenges of cities with a specific focus on widening countries (Portugal and Slovakia), allowing them to overcome structural, sociocultural, economic, political, and institutional barriers.
In order to reach the expected outcomes, InCITIES is based on the application of strongly collaborative/co-creative, iterative, and incremental approaches, methods, and tools. That is, the implementation of the WPs is designed with the effective participation and commitment of student and staff in this process. Most importantly, 2 main innovative methodologies – the Research Roadmap Co-creation method and the LbD Pedagogical model – are implemented. Both methods complement each other and support the objectives of InCITIES model beyond their descriptive role.
The InCITIES project will be developed by a consortium of 5 partners participating in different interrelated activities, including the Coordinator, University Institute of Lisbon (Portugal), Université Gustave Eiffel (France), TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences (Germany), LAUREA University of Applied Sciences (Finland) and University of Žilina (Slovakia).
