IUR funds seed grants for our researchers annually, with an aim to foster research cooperation amongst IUR members together with other urban researchers. Recipients are to create a platform that facilitates work with tangible research output: publications, research proposals for external funding, events or conferences leading to future cooperation, outreach activities together with societal actors, exhibitions, artistic interventions, pilot studies to start up new projects or research proposals, amongst other possibilities. Congratulations to the recipients for this year!
