08 Jan MI-TRAP Joins the Resilient Futures e-Community of Practice
MI-TRAP is pleased to announce that it has officially joined Resilient Futures an international e-Community of Practice (e-CoP) powered by ENRICH GLOBAL under the Thriving Cities and Resilient Communities Thematic Group.
Chaired by Prof. Giannis Adamos (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), Resilient Futures brings together a diverse and growing network of innovators, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, practitioners, and young people who share a common goal: to collaboratively shape the cities of tomorrow. By joining this initiative, MI-TRAP strengthens its commitment to participatory, inclusive, and evidence-based approaches to addressing urban challenges.
Urban areas today face unprecedented pressures, including climate change, rapid urbanisation, mobility disruptions, and persistent social inequalities. Resilient Futures was created to respond to these challenges by transforming them into opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and systemic change.
Through the e-CoP, members connect across disciplines and geographies to exchange knowledge, share solutions, build capacity, and foster partnerships that support thriving, sustainable, inclusive, and equitable urban and peri-urban spaces.

- Promoting behavioural change and social innovation to enhance community well-being and sustainability
- Shaping policy dialogues for resilient and inclusive urban futures
- Providing training and mentorship opportunities for young researchers and innovators
- Connecting researchers, policymakers, practitioners, citizens, and youth across Europe and globally
These areas strongly align with MI-TRAP’s mission to improve urban environments through citizen science, participatory approaches, and policy-relevant research.
