CENTRINNO Clustering Activities

From the beginning, CENTRINNO has focused on clustering and building connections with other EU projects and initiatives, particularly in the area of Urban Heritage. The goal has been to exchange information and ideas and to promote innovation. CENTRINNO has worked closely with two other projects, the so-called “Sister Projects”, T-FACTOR, and HUB-IN, also H2020 funded project under the topic “Transforming historic urban areas and/or cultural landscapes into hubs of entrepreneurship and social and cultural integration”. All the activities are documented in the deliverable D6.10 Clustering Activities report 3, available on the resource section.

Each of the Sister Projects (SPs) have their own approach but share a common goal: to develop new methods for regenerating cities and their heritage. The projects cover various themes, including social innovation, inclusion, entrepreneurship, culture, creativity, circular economy, and temporary urbanism.
Their ultimate goal is to create a network of urban hubs across Europe, contributing to the development of resilient, vibrant, and inclusive cities.

1. Innovative Hubs & Heritage-Driven Regeneration
2. New Urban Regeneration Models
3. Civil Society & Bottom-Up Processes
4. Heritage and Local Culture
