URBAN MANAGEMENT ACROSS CONTINENTS

Activities

• Explore, test and implement new digital methods and tools for collaborative teaching and research in the field of postgraduate education across the three institutions;

• Strengthen inter- and transdisciplinary, postgraduate education that is inherently practice-oriented in the field of urban management at African planning schools;

• Embed PhD training in structured collaborative postgraduate capacity building programmes;

• Build inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge around resilience, urban justice and solidarity within urban transitions towards SDGs;

• Foster mentoring and capacity building for career development in academia.

It is in this spirit that the participating students presented their ongoing master’s thesis research to each other and received feedback from senior scholars from all three participating institutions. The discussion provided deep insights into common topics and opportunity for self-reflection before an international peer-group in a conference format.

We wish all master’s students that participated the best for completing their work on the thesis projects presented at this occasion!
