The URBACT program has announced an open call for submissions of Good Practices, open from April 15 to June 30, 2024.

The initiative seeks to identify and recognize local practices within the EU that are effective, participatory, integrated, and have potential relevance and applicability across other European cities.

Eligible for participation are cities from the 27 Member States of the European Union, as well as Partner States such as Norway and Switzerland. Additionally, cities from countries benefiting from the EU’s Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) — including Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia — along with Ukraine and Moldova, are invited to contribute their exemplary practices.

Selected entries will receive substantial exposure and promotional opportunities. Among these, the URBACT City Festival, slated for April 8-10, 2025, in Wroclaw, Poland, will serve as a prominent platform to showcase these practices.

For more detailed information on the benefits for selected submissions, interested parties can visit the URBACT website.

This initiative provides a significant opportunity for cities to share innovative solutions and gain recognition at a European level.
