European Research in Architecture and Urbanism

EURAU's main concern is to establish these meetings as a forum for debate and discussion of contemporary discourses in Architecture and Urbanism. 

The French Ministry of Culture initiated EURAU in 2004. Since then, a series of international editions have taken place with the participation of hundreds of passionate and enthusiastic researchers from around the world, today reaching the Nordic countries.
