Twelve European research groups and four territorial actors, from eleven different member states, have submitted a research project (LinkCity) to the last call of proposal for Social Sciences and Humanities of the EU 7th Framework Program of Research, Technological Development and Innovation. The project has been coordinated by the University of Huelva (Spain), with the support of the scientific committee of INTI (International Network of Territorial Intelligence, GDRI INTI). The framework of this proposal is Activity 8.2: “Combining economic, social and environmental objectives in a European perspective: Paths towards sustainable development” within the Area 8.2.2 “Regional, territorial and social cohesion”.

GDRI-INTI International Research Group "International Network of Territorial Intelligence"

GDRI-INTI, International Research Group “International Network of Territorial Intelligence” started January 1, 2011, for four years, at the end of an international scientific evaluation organized by the CNRS. It gathers seven research teams from five countries: MSHE, ThéMA and ESO (France), OLE (France), SEGEFA (Belgium), DISUFF (Italia) and TAG (Argentina).

Its main aim is the consolidation of the integration of European researches in Territorial Intelligence in order to give them an international dimension.

The next scientific events of ENTI, in Pecs, Marne-la-Vallée, Liège and Gatineau will be the opportunity to restructure the research project of ENTI by deepening the work plan of new-LiFE.
