Challenging Cities: Processes and people

The summer-school will be held in Urbino from July 18th to August 12th, 2005. It is residential and involves 4 hours class activity per day for four weeks. Each week will focus on Challenging Cities: Actors and Processes.

Within December 20th, 2005 selected participants have to submit a final paper to one of the scholars involved in the training programme (participants to both Eurex and to the summer-school will have to submit only one paper).

Costs and grants

The cost for participating in the Summer-school is 600 €, which cover also accommodation costs at the University campus. Travel costs and meals will be at participant’s expenses. Access to the University facilities (canteen) will be made available at subsidised costs.

The selection committee will distribute 5 full grants covering the participation to the Summer-school (including a lump sum to cover at least partly travel costs) to candidates, who will apply to both programmes (Eurex-and the RTN Summer-school).
