Project Events

Urban regeneration projects often unfold as a sequence of public moments, from lectures and seminars to thematic workshops and final conferences. The events archive on this site collects those moments in chronological order, offering a record of gatherings that brought together researchers, practitioners and citizens around questions of inclusive and exclusive city dynamics. The list spans multiple host cities and reflects how a network of partners can share knowledge across borders. Readers can use the archive to trace how a project moved from early discussions to its concluding milestones, and to revisit the conversations that shaped its direction at each step along the way.

Thematic workshops are a recurring format within this kind of international cooperation. They concentrate on a defined subject, invite a focused group of participants, and combine presentations with practical exercises. Held in cities such as Turin and Lisbon, these sessions allowed attendees to examine urban strategies through local examples, comparing regeneration practices and policy frameworks. The exchange of experience between academic institutions, civic organizations and municipal representatives is a core purpose, helping participants to develop shared vocabulary and methods. Such workshops also build the personal connections that later support joint activities, publications and the longer-term development of the partner network.

Public lectures and seminars extend a project's reach beyond its immediate partners. By inviting guest speakers to address wider audiences, the initiative linked its research to ongoing debates in urban studies, architecture and social policy. The archive lists events in Skopje and other host cities, where local students, teachers and members of the public joined project participants. Open lectures offer an opportunity to present preliminary findings, test arguments and gather feedback. They also help to position the project within existing conversations about inclusive growth, social integration and the design of public space in rapidly changing urban environments.

Final conferences mark the closing phase of a collaborative project, gathering all partner institutions, stakeholders and observers for a shared review of outcomes. The SINERGI Final Conference, as noted in the archive, served this role in Skopje, summarizing the work undertaken across twin cities and presenting results to an international audience. Such events typically combine keynote addresses, panel discussions and poster sessions, alongside opportunities to view project outputs. They function as both a conclusion and a launchpad, allowing participants to consolidate learning, acknowledge contributors and identify directions for future research and practice.

Across the events listed, a clear pattern emerges: alternating locations, recurring formats, and a consistent attention to participation. Public-facing announcements make the work visible, while closed sessions allow for detailed technical exchange. The chronological listing helps visitors place each gathering in the wider life of the project, from early seminars in 2015 to the concluding conference later that year. Taken together, the archive illustrates how urban research is built through accumulated encounters, where each event contributes to a shared body of knowledge about cities, citizens and the strategies that connect them.
