European Regeneration Managers Network

About the network

QeC-ERAN is launching a European Regeneration Managers Network (ERMN) aimed at professionals involved in urban regeneration. The goals will be to provide a bi-monthly information service in terms of EU Urban Policy developments, provide information regarding EU funding programmes as well as to establish an online ERMN Platform that will enable members to network with each other, provide discussion forum space as well as the means for taking part in EU consultation in relation to the Urban agenda.

The need for a European Regeneration Managers Network

One point that repeatedly comes up in evaluation of the every day work of project development and project management is that there is a difference between the "know-how" and "can - do" in terms of implementing actions on the ground. Our experience shows that direct exchange and a transnational connection between urban regeneration actors can help best to build up both "know-how" and "can - do".

Therefore there is the need to build up capacity and empower urban regeneration actors through the creation of a network where they will be able to directly connect to each other and exchange experience and transfer learning.

Objectives of the European Regeneration Managers Network

The short-term goals of the network will be to:

• Provide members with an information service which keeps them updated in terms of EU Urban Policy developments and indeed the wider policy context that drives the Lisbon Agenda
  
• Provide also information regarding EU funding programmes
  
• To undertake training needs analysis of a sample of members.

The medium term and long term goals (2007 onwards) will be to secure funding that will enable us to create an online academy providing two or three face to face seminars per year PLUS online modules that reflect the needs of members as identified through the training needs audit. The aim is to provide a choice of online modules that will be certified by a number of participating universities. The long terms goal will be create a route for acquiring an Urban Regeneration Managers qualification at a European level.
