EUI Peer Review – October 2025 Call
The Peer Review Call of the European Urban Initiative (EUI), open from 8 October to 18 November 2025, aims to support urban authorities in improving the design and implementation of their Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) strategies co-financed by the ERDF – Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1058.
Each Peer Review brings together one “city under review” and up to six “peer cities” from other Member States, fostering mutual learning, benchmarking, and the exchange of good practices.
The activities include a self-assessment, a 2–3-day in-person event, and technical follow-up support to help implement the recommendations. The events will take place in the first half of 2026 and are fully funded by the EUI.
