Join an international summer school exploring how cities and regions can transition towards circular, zero-waste systems. This Blended Intensive Programme focuses on sustainable urban transformation, social innovation, and climate-conscious design, combining theory with hands-on, problem-based learning.
Participants will examine material and energy flows, urban systems, and circular economy strategies, while critically assessing the role of bottom-up initiatives, community action, and governance in driving real change. Through workshops, lectures, and empirical work, you will collaborate on practical solutions for sustainable urban futures.

Priority in the selection process is given to B/M students and PhD students who have not yet taken part in any mobility under the EUNICE European University or Erasmus+ framework.
When selecting participants for BIP, priority is given first to the grade point average, then to involvement in the EUNICE Student Organisation (which earns extra points), and finally to the order in which applications are received.
The minimum required grade point average is 3.75.
To ensure equal opportunities in accessing the activities on offer, a rule has been introduced whereby, in any given semester, students may take part in only one mobility programme organised within the framework of the EUNICE European University.
