We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the conclusion of the EmergentCommunity project. The final seminar will present the project’s key conceptual, methodological, and impact-related insights into urban life and coexistence. It will feature talks on how communities take shape, how everyday interactions unfold, and on coexistence in changing urban environments.
In addition to presenting the project’s findings, the event also serves as a networking opportunity for researchers and practitioners interested in multimethod and multidisciplinary approaches.
EmergentCommunity is a European Research Council (ERC) funded project that has examined how people negotiate belonging, participation, and forms of coexistence in socio‑economically diverse urban areas in Finland, Sweden, and France.
