Projects approved through this Call will focus on fostering exchange and
learning among cities and other urban players, capitalising knowledge and
disseminating good practices in the field of integrated and sustainable
urban development. By setting up Local Support Groups, producing Local
Action Plans, and through transnational networking, these projects will
both impact local policies and link into the Operational Programmes.
This Call is aimed at supporting European cities to deal with two current
major challenges: the economic crisis and its consequences, and climate
change and its effects. All project proposals shall refer to one or both of
these challenges. In addition, project proposals must address one of the 16
Priority topics defined for this Call.
The Call is open from 16th June until 25th September 2009.
