Urban Sustainability in Action Multi-disciplinary Approach through Jointly Organized Research schools

"(URSA MAJOR) is coordinated by the Nansen Center and funded by INTPART-2020 – International Partnerships for Excellent Education, Research and Innovation project of the Research Council of Norway

The primary objective of the project is to train future stakeholders of Smart and Sustainable Cities to work with urban socioenvironmental interactions in the era of climate change.

URSA MAJOR seeks a holistic approach to urban nature-based solutions with strengthening access to digital communication and remote sensing. We provide training in web tools, extended reality, eLearning, FAIR data management, urban modelling, analysis and ethics of societal data. We strive to improve education of civil engineers, ecologists, urban architects, managers, and administrators – all future stakeholders of sustainable and resilient cities
