The contribution of coastal small and medium-sized cities to Urban and Regional Development

The contribution of coastal small and medium-sized cities to Urban and Regional Development

The contribution of coastal small and medium-sized cities to Urban and Regional Development

In the European area in general, and particularly in the Greek area, coastal cities have always played an important role in the wider regional development. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in research on small and medium-sized cities and how the economic activities of these cities contribute to urban and regional development. In response to this trend, the aim of this Student Research Hub research project is to identify and analyse the individual elements that make up the development indicators at a regional-local level, in coastal areas, within a specific period of time.

General Learning outcomes 

  • Research and collection of statistical data
  • Methodology of construction economic indicators based on the collected statistical data
  • Exploring the topic of regional development and the indicators that describe it

 

Assessment method: 

Written report/presentation of results

At the end of this Student Research Hub, the students will present their research outcome in a report. The results will be compared within the group and evaluated by the mentor.

Prerequisites for participating students: 

Undergraduate and postgraduate master students who specialise in economic or environmental studies.

Good knowledge of the English language and computers is desirable.

Thematic area: 

Urban and Regional Development

Mentor: 

Dimitrios Tsiotas

Our very 1st edition of the EU-CONEXUS Summer Scho Our very 1st edition of the EU-CONEXUS Summer School on Sustainability Microcredentials took place between 7-11 July 2025📍 and it was hosted by our colleagues at @utcbro and brought together 46 students from 8️⃣ universities of the Alliance:

🇫🇷🇬🇷🇷🇴🇪🇸🇭🇷🇮🇪🇩🇪🇨🇾

We thus marked an important moment for the Alliance and a concrete step towards the diversification and internationalization of learning forms in European higher education.

For a week, students participated in short-term courses (microcertifications) supported by teaching staff from Romania, Spain and Germany. The meetings took place in the UTCB classrooms, but also outside them:

🔹 Traditional Timber Houses Carpentry in Seismic and Coastal Areas, held by Andreea Duțu, @utcbro 

🔹 Social Entrepreneurship and Commitment in SmUCS, held by Johann-Christian Põder, @unirostock 

🔹 English Communication for Sustainable Development, held by Arash Javadinejad, @universidadcatolicavalencia 

Thank you to all actors involved in the success of this 1st edition:

👏 UTCB university management for the support offered to the organizers within the UTCB International Relations Center

👏 volunteers of @ascb.ro - Construction Students Association of Bucharest for their valuable contribution within this project 

👏 @efden_org team for their openness to welcome us 

👏 Cuibul Artiştilor for an evening that brought even more color to this experience.

One of our partners, the @universidadcatolicavalencia (UCV), recently held its graduation ceremonies, recognising the achievements of hundreds of graduates from undergraduate and master's programmes.

The event celebrated not only academic success but also personal growth, diversity, and the capacity to transform society. Eight ceremonies were held, divided by faculties, at the Valencia Conference Centre, where each graduate's name was proudly called to receive their sash, symbolising recognition and effort.

✨ Special highlights included speeches by student representatives and the Rector, the heartfelt applause of graduates to their parents and families  for supporting them throughout all these years, and the warm applause from the lecturers as their students completed this important stage.

🎉👏 Congratulations to all UCV  graduates! This milestone marks  the beginning of new challenges and opportunities ✨, and we are proud to walk alongside you as part of the EU-CONEXUS European University Alliance.
