This conference will discuss how to work across internal and external boundaries of UNIC to further develop ways of boosting knowledge development and co-creation to contribute to UNIC’s mission of societal impact and improvement. What is our joint narrative? In practice, what does it mean to be the European University of Cities in Post-Industrial Transition? How do diverse UNIC branches contribute to this narrative? What is the role of UNIC Cities in UNIC operations? How can we collaborate to come up with added value for our post-industrial Cities and societal impact in general?
The purpose of each conference session is to work hands on timely tasks that contribute to the workpackages’ project deliverables.
The conference is organised in Linnanmaa campus, University of Oulu (Erkki Koiso-Kanttilan katu, Oulu). Plenaries take place in Saalastinsali (address Pentti Kaiteran katu 1, Oulu) and parallel sessions in Tellus area (2T door, Erkki Koiso-Kanttilan katu, Oulu).
