European Funding
The University is actively engaged in collaborative research at a European and international level, primarily through the European Unions Seventh Programme for Research and Development (FP7).
We collaborate with world class universities and research institutes, as well as with multinational companies and SMEs on innovative projects across varied disciplines. Some of our current projects include:
BESTUFS II (Best Urban Freight Solutions II)
This project aims to maintain and expand an open European network between urban freight transport experts, user groups, the relevant European Commission Directorates and representatives of national, regional and local transport administrations and transport operators in order to identify, describe and disseminate best practices, success criteria and bottlenecks with respect to City Logistics Solutions.

CIPAST (Citizen Participation in Science and Technology)
The CIPAST-Project aims at bringing together different families of actors from organisations with significant experiences in the use of participatory procedures in scientific and technological issues. This will provide an opportunity to disseminate useful practices more efficiently, to boost innovation, and to foster the emergence of a European culture of participatory democracy in scientific and technological issues.
