LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES
Our activities are very rich between research, technical assistance and capacity-building: in this August 2024 edition, we give an update on our different European Research projects. We are also thrilled to announce that we are part of the team working on the project Urban Retrofit UK in partnership with the University of Glasgow and UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE); this project is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (part of UK Research and Innovation) and will investigate how cities can be planned and ‘retrofitted’ for net-zero living, as well as conduct research on place-based approaches to an environmentally sustainable future, providing evidence to support local and national decision making. We are looking forward to engaging in exciting events in the months to come!
