Facing urban challenges and seeking research-based expertise? Willing to work with passionate students with interdisciplinary perspectives? 📢 Call for Project Proposals 2026/27 We are looking for project proposals that address a clear research question or issue, based on and anchored in the professional activities of your organization. Our annual Project Seminar in Applied Urban Research engages students in transdisciplinary research with non-academic organizations to address common urban challenges. Students work in small groups on a project or research question commissioned by a public, civic or private organization as the main client. Clients are expected to propose a well-defined project, interact with students at key moments, and provide professional support throughout the academic year. Students combine desktop research and empirical investigation to produce output that responds to the client’s brief. 📄In the project proposal, clients are invited to present their organization, describe the issue that needs to be addressed by the students, its relevance to the organization, the envisioned methodology and timing, and the expected output. Eager to participate? 📆 Submit your proposal by June 30, 2026 🌍 Proposals welcome in EN, NL, FR, or DE. 🔗 For more info: https://lnkd.in/e-YFjh8b ❓For any additional questions, reach out to Pepijn Kennis or Bas van Heur
