360º Cityshapers founding director, Kerri Farnsworth, has been appointed to a validated panel of experts for the €87m URBACT IV programme, which runs until 2027. The appointment came after an open call to expert across Europe, and an evaluation of candidates by an independent panel of assessors.
URBACT is an EU Interreg & ERDF co-funded programme, which has been driving change all over Europe since 2002 by enabling the cooperation and idea exchange amongst cities within thematic networks; by building the skills of local stakeholders in the design and implementation of integrated and participatory policies; and by sharing knowledge and good city practices.
Cities in each URBACT network are able to be supported by validated Experts on an ad-hoc basis in designing and implementing their activities, including setting up and maintaining their URBACT Local Groups, as well as carrying out programme-level missions as requested.
