What is EUROPAN?
EUROPAN was established at the initiative of the French Ministry of Culture in 1988 by several countries - France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland. It is an activity organized simultaneously in 17 member and 4 associated European countries by EUROPAN - a non-governmental federation of national organizations with a common secretariat in Paris.
The permanent theme of EUROPAN is "European Urbanity".
The goal of EUROPAN is to enable young architects and urban planners under 40 to develop and present their innovative ideas on an international scale. The task is to help cities find unconventional architectural-urban concepts for selected sites. The realization of these projects concludes the organizational process of EUROPAN. After seven editions of EUROPAN, 58 projects have been realized in Europe.
