2 July - MLL Chatbox Meeting
This Chatbox meeting on July 2nd between 12.30-14h in Vergaderzaal S.V.034 related to regulating cities, multilevel governance, and EU competences will be led by Rana Touseef Sami and Anh Le Hai. This chatbox meeting is intended as an informal opportunity to discuss a certain topic that (potentially) crosses disciplinary boundaries, and which may be relevant for various research projects within the group. A chatbox can also be particularly useful for (junior) researchers who use a common research concept to organize an informal and interactive session. During the session we share sources and discuss complex concepts and methods and we explore how they can be applied in different ways in our respective research projects.
In this first MLL Chatbox meeting, we would like to invite you to a discussion on regulating and developing policies for cities from a multi-level governance perspective. In particular, we will explore some legal challenges that are commonly encountered in an urban context and discuss the competences of the EU, national, and local governments in addressing these legal challenges. While the topic might seem to be primarily legal, it can provide useful insights for all researchers who are working on urban-related topics.
Please reply at the latest on June 28th to Esther Van Zimmeren, so that a larger room can be reserved in case that would be needed.
Please bring your own lunch for this informal gathering.
