RESEARCH REPORT
After each secondment, researchers need to complete and submit a Research Report,
which records research methods, research outputs, evaluates research objectives and
gives conclusions and recommendations. The Research Report is significant for a
number of reasons. It is important for the host institutes, as it enables them to evaluate
their incoming secondments. Furthermore, it is of importance to the UKNA Secretariat,
which will use it for reporting to the European Commission.
Please make sure to complete the Research Report within 1 month after the end of
your secondment together with your e-ticket, scan of boarding pass & mobility form
and to share it with:

IDEAS OF THE CITY: This research theme explores
competing ideas of the contemporary city from
historical perspectives to illuminate the continuities
and ruptures in the process of city making.
CITIES BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE: This theme
examines who are the actors and how they interact
in the production, shaping, contestation and
transformation of the city. It explores the relations
between human flourishing and the making of urban
space and form, with a particular concern for the
rights of residents and users in the process.
FUTURE OF CITIES: This theme considers the
challenges of urban dwellers and users in the areas
of land, housing, infrastructure, services, planning
and the environment, personal well being (including
livelihoods and human capital), and “life spaces”
(comprising culture, urban heritage, public spaces,
and associational life).
