The University of Antwerp is a leading academic institution in Flanders, Belgium, that contributes to education, research, services to society, and valorisation. UA’s mission is to commit to the development of a sustainable world and a democratic and inclusive society. Researchers from the Research Group for Urban Development and the Environmental Economics Research Group are involved in Climatefit.
UA will set the ground at the beginning of the project for all CLIMATEFIT activities, by identifying barriers, drivers and deeply analysing the contexts and best practices of resilience finance with the project’s main end users: the territory case studies and the Financing and Investment Entities. UA will also directly support the Belgium case studies, the Flanders region and the city of Genk.
