About the European Uban Summer School concept

In 2010, the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) launched a new annual event: the European Urban Summer School (EUSS) for young professionals. AESOP wanted to bring together young professionals and both experienced academics and practitioners from across Europe to discuss planning issues and invited European partners from other planning organizations to cooperate in this project. All partners offered their teaching resources at European Urban Summer School. The idea was to facilitate trans-European exchange and to foster a debate on the most important planning topics. It was supposed to promote all involved actors as bodies being able to help politicians and other stakeholders in spatial development and management issues.

The European Urban Summer School is intended as a platform for debate and exchange and is run on minimum fees for participants. Tutors do not get any gratification for their work.

The first EUSS took place in Poland (2010), the second in Portugal (2011). In 2012, IFHP has joined the EUSS together with the European Council of Spatial Planners (ECTP-CEU)and the International Society for City and Regional Planners
(ISOCARP). The event is one of the first projects within the framework of Decade of Planning 2011-2020.

European Urban Summer School (EUSS) is a joint activity of IFHP, AESOP, ECTP-CEU and ISOCARP.
