The Evolution of Research and Partnership Activities in Support of Urban Transformation: The EU’s Research and Innovation Framework Programme
摘要
Rapid urbanization has been interlinked with sustainability challenges, underscoring the urgency of urban transformation. The EU has established financing initiatives to drive urban transformation actions, including through its research and innovation (R&I) funding programme. Employing a social network analysis approach, this study investigates shifts in partnerships within the programme. In particular, the study’s relevance is noteworthy in light of the EU–Republic of Korea (hereafter referred to as Korea) Green Partnership established in May 2023, and therefore have implications for the forging of impactful green collaborations between the EU and Korea.
