About the Programme

 In 2012, The Università Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria has launched the first cycle of the International Doctorate Programme in "Urban Regeneration and Economic Development" (URED).

 The URED is an initiative promoted by the International Network, which was established from 2011 to 2014 within the CLUDs research project-7FP- Marie Curie IRSES 2010 and funded by European Social Fund Calabria Region Operational Program. The Network has been confirmed within the new research International project MAPS-LED-HORIZON 2020 – Marie Skłodowska-Curie RISE, for the period 2015-2019, coordinated by Prof.Carmelina Bevilacqua. 

The International Doctorate Programme URED follows the seven European principles for innovative doctoral training (Brussels, 27/06/2011) and offers a high quality of research options in terms of the triple “i” dimensions (International mobility, inter-sectoral exposure and inter-disciplinarity).

The quality of research options offered by the programme is twofold. The former is related to emphasize a sophisticated economic understanding of the innovative aspects of urban regeneration processes by introducing new financial urban management tools integrated with social innovation and connection with Smart Specialisation Strategies. The latter is related to strengthen research partnerships by facilitating the international mobility of researchers in order to enable the career development of young researchers.
