The International Urban and Regional Cooperation programme (IURC) is a European Union (EU) programme that promotes decentralized multi-city cooperation in sustainable urban development, building partnerships between EU and non-EU cities on a global scale.
Through networking events, best practice sharing, comparative studies, knowledge exchanges, and direct contact with city officials, cities will be able to focus their collaborations. The IURC enables local governments to implement pilot projects involving research, civil society, and business partners.
