U!R Commons Lecture Series

To broaden our knowledge on Urban Commons, to inspire students, teachers and other people on the concept of commoning and to present the U!REKA Lab, we are organizing the monthly U!R Commons Lecture Series. We invite experts on commons from several European countries, who will look at the concept from a different perspective, discipline or organization.

All lectures start at 15.00 (CET) – 16.30 and will be held online on ZOOM.
