Defining innovation in the context of the UIA Initiative

The paper does not have a scientific basis or ambition. It is based on the global reading of all applications received as well as on the discussions with the experts who assessed the project proposals and on the daily contacts with project coordinators of the 17 approved projects.
The trends and initial lessons identified have been already presented during the different information events organised in the frame of the second Call for Proposals and are now available in a single paper, that you can download on this page.
We hope this paper will provide useful insights for urban authorities that are currently preparing a proposal for the second Call for Proposals and more generally to urban actors interested in urban innovation and in the UIA Initiative.
