European Postgraduate Masters in Urbanism (EMU)Four leading European universities - UPC Barcelona, TU Delft, KU Leuven and Universitá IUAV di Venezia - have designed a joint European Postgraduate Master of Urbanism (EMU). EMU offers since 2006 a two-year full time postgraduate master programme (120 ECTS), consisting of three core semesters (30 ECTS/semester) and one final semester for a written or design thesis (30 ECTS). In each core semester the design studio is seen as the programmes backbone supported by three cutting edge courses focusing on theory, technology and methodology.
Course participants must fulfill a minimum of 60 ECTS at the hosting university and will follow at least one semester at one of the partner universities. This means that the students acquire valuable experiences in different cultural, disciplinary and physical landscapes.
Application in Delft for September 2010 is open from now until April 1, 2010. For online application see TU Delft website.

Masters programme on European spatial and environmental planning (ESEP)NSM - Department of Spatial Planning, Radboud University, Nijmegen
The focus of the Masters programme is on the international and European dimension to spatial and environmental planning in the nations and regions of the EU. During the twelve months of study, students have the opportunity to critically discuss the spatial implications of EU policy in a comparative perspective, and to better understand the multi-level system of governance in an integrated European Union. The Master specialisation gives attention to aspects of coordination of policies and actions vertically (among different levels of government), horizontally (among different policy sectors) and geographically (across administrative boundaries). Teaching and learning take place in small student groups and are based on interactive approaches. Reflecting the international orientation of the Master specialisation, there are provisions for student exchanges to European partner universities in the second semester.

This course is intended as a discussion platform dealing with ‘tricky’ issues in governance research. It is designed by PhDs, for PhDs, who are facing issues working with governance which are hard to approach in the normal day-to-day of a PhD, such as: How to research the interactions between various actors in decision-making and planning processes? How does our personal perspective affect the way we understand values of others involved in these processes? How can we methodologically close the gap between theory and empirical study? How can we make our study relevant to our research context?
The course will consist of a series of workshops with participants and senior academics discussing these questions, taking a point of departure in the research of the participants, and also lectures from senior academics sharing their own experiences of research in a governance context.
This course will focus on each individual’s project through the submission of an academic paper (4,000 – 5,000 words) and subsequent presentation during the course. The paper should take a point of departure in the questions above. Two PhD opponents and two senior academics will be assigned to each paper. The registration form (‘Brief description of PhD subject’) should contain an abstract of the planned paper for the course (not an actual description of the PhD project). Further programme details and inspiration for the full paper will be sent to participants after acceptance.

The Symposium will bring researchers, PhD students and practitioners in the field together to explore different aspects of planning and culture. In this international Symposium and PhD course practitioners within the field of planning are invited to reflect upon the relation between planning and culture. It is an invitation to explore also the more interpretive, narrative and discursive approaches to planning. The Symposium aims at exploring the various approaches, dimensions and practices of culture in planning. The Symposium will seek answers to these questions:
- How does the increasing culturalization of social theory affect planning?
- How can culture as everyday life be integrated in planning?
- Planning the multicultural community; challenges and solutions

The Summer School will be organised in close cooperation with the cities of Turku and Jyväskylä, where the active field work of the course will take place. The first days of the course will be spent in the Helsinki region. This part of the course consists of lectures and excursions. The core of the Summer School is the following ten days of workshops taking place in the partner cities. The field work is based on actual town planning tasks. Participants will be assigned to analyse the existing conditions of planning areas and to suggest innovative and realistic improvements to the environments.
This year’s theme will be “Mapping Urban Space - Alternative Strategies for Emergent Urban Forms”. The course will concentrate on one hand on alternative mapping of urban resources and on the other hand on alternative planning instruments. The lectures as well as the given projects will reflect the theme. Summer School also provides the participants with an opportunity to publish their writings in an official publication. The annual publication includes articles and essays written by the participants as well as summaries of the projects produced in the workshops. The YTK/IFHP Summer School entitles participants five ECTS study credits.

Governance research needs to be critical and analytical in investigating the consequences and efficiency of governance approaches in practice. This paper-based course addresses those methodological components, taking the following questions as a frame: How are value conflicts being managed in governance research? Do new governance practices actually help us to solve complex and persistent policy problems? How can (governance) theory be operationalised with regard to specific (research) contexts? What types ofnormativity can be dealt with in governance research and what should the roles of contemporary governance researchers be? Questions of this sort comprise the main motivation for this doctoral course on doing governance research.
The course will be a combination of lectures and debate workshops with focus on the participants’ projects. Participants are therefore asked to submit an academic paper (4,000-8,000 words) and give corresponding presentations during the course. Two opponents will be assigned to each paper. Focus is largely put on knowledge sharing among the participants as well as feedback from senior academics. The papers presented should discuss the theoretical point of departure of the case study, methods of case analysis and the analysis of results (if any). The registration form (under: ‘Brief description of Ph.D. subject’) should contain a brief outline of the planned paper for the course (instead of an actual description of the Ph.D. project).

The application of quantitative and technology oriented methodologies in urban planning and urban studies has been reducing substantially in recent years. Planning Schools have reduced their teaching commitment in quantitative and qualitative methodologies; congress tracks dedicated to new tech. and planning are disappearing or are underrepresented. This comes at a time when the complexity paradigm is gaining ground in urban scholarship and with it, a growing understanding that we need new models - theoretical and operational - to help us understand urban and regional dynamics. This workshop brings together researchers in planning, spatial modelling and related fields, particularly Ph.D. students, to share ideas and help recreate a community in which these ideas can flourish. The workshop will offer grad students and established urban researchers a chance to discuss in depth the potential of computational technologies such as GA, CA, or other modelling approaches, as well as it will set the basis for an in-depth discussion of the importance of quantitative and qualitative-quantitative approaches to the Education, Research and Practice of Planning.

In January 2003 the RTPI Education Commission published its final report, which makes a number of recommendations regarding planning education and its links to membership of the RTPI. Five years on it is now appropriate to review those recommendations from the Commission that have not yet been taken forward, to assess whether they are still appropriate and whether there is a demand from the profession. This is also in the context of reviewing the RTPI’s policy statement on initial planning education to confirm its fitness for purpose. In order to take forward this review, the consultation papers will be issued in a number of stages and will be available through RTPI web pages. First consultation papers emerging from the current Education Review are now live on the RTPI’s website. This is the first stage of the consultation, with additional papers to be added at a later date.
Please direct all responses to education@rtpi.org.uk, and the closing date for receipt of responses is Friday 30th May.
