The EUI visual identity is a prominent display of its fundamental support to European cities on innovative solutions, capacity and knowledge building as well as policy development on sustainable urban development. It is a key element, representing the ambition, the core magnitude of the initiative and our presence within the urban dimension of the Cohesion Policy.
At EUI, we aim to establish a bond and connection with cities, partners, institutions, organisations as well as citizens and local policy stakeholders -- ensuring a more integrated, inclusive and sustainable urban development policy stage.
