💡 Understanding Peer Reviews!

The Peer Review offer by EUI is designed to help cities refine their Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) strategies through collaborative learning and expert guidance.

🔄 How it works:

🔹A ‘city under review’ identifies a specific challenge related to their SUD strategy.
🔹This city collaborates with up to six ‘peer reviewer’ cities, bringing in relevant expertise and solutions.
🔹Two Peer Review experts guide the process, offering tailored support and feedback.

🌍 Why participate?
Fully financed by EUI, this offer provides a unique chance for cities to improve their strategies, exchange best practices, and learn from peer experiences.

✨ Stay tuned for future opportunities!
