Research at UNGCCP – Sharing Innovation

Essential knowledge can be drawn from the innovation and hard work of participating cities – and shared.

Research is facilitated by the International Secretariat of the UN Global Compact Cities Programme to support, inform and add value to cities’ innovation projects and enhance knowledge and application of good practice and systems.

This happens through:

• Tools, resources and knowledge from RMIT University urban-focused research projects being made available to cities for use in the planning, establishment, implementation and review phases of their projects.
• Mapping, data collation and analysis of projects – in partnership with the city – often undertaken by Cities Programme interns with supervision from Research Fellows.
• Support for cities to seek funding to conduct research related to their project.
• Dissemination of knowledge from projects.
