The EUniverCities project wants to address the urban challenges in and around ten medium-sized European cities which share a common interest in developing and strengthening the co-operation between the city and university.
Challenges in Lublin: financial crisis urban development unemployment rate decreasing population decline brain drain
Cities and universities increasingly realise that they can benefit both from more strategic and effective forms of co-operation.
Challenges:

The project should help in shaping concrete solutions and finding the necessary funding.
