Why this forum?

The Forum of Cities and Juries

‍From October 16th to 18th in Lisbon (PT), is the meeting at the European scale of the site representatives (47 sites), jury members (10 juries) and organizers of Europan 18, gathered to discuss on a preselection of the entries (25% of them) and on the criteria to evaluate them.
‍
One of the main goals is to create a common culture for the experts involved in the projects evaluation before making the final choice, during a second session of the national juries. This Forum is therefore the chance for structured and informal exchanges between the juries and site representatives, the latter delegating the choice of the winning teams to the former.
‍
The Europan 18 Forum of Cities and Juries is organised by Europan Europe, Europan Portugal and the contribution of National secretaries. The program will take place over 2 days and a half:
