Why this forum?

The Forum of Cities and Juries
‍
From November 10th to 11th in Wien (AT), is the meeting at the European scale of the site representatives (51 sites), jury members (11 juries) and organizers of Europan 17, 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 17 Forum of Cities and Juries is organised by Europan Europe, Europan Austria and the contribution of National secretaries. The program will take place over 2 days:

This day will begin with two visits in Wien of Oase 22 and Wildgarten district. Two processes of implementation from Europan 9 and 10 winning projects followed by debates in situ around these processes.
The day will continue with debates around:
— What is a specific project-process in Europan and the passage between ideas and their implementations.
— What themes have to be taken into account in the E17 evaluation.

A workshop will propose, in parallel of the visits and debates, a think-tank to explore themes, processes of the competition.
