As part of the efforts to bring the consortium partners closer together, Prof Mark Deakin and Dr Luca Mora undertook a mapping analysis of the research produced by each U!REKA member. The mapping analysis took the shape of a bilbiometric analysis based on the research outputs of each member and rated by literature databases such as SCOPUS. This works helps to share the areas in which the consortium looks to deepen its collaborations. 

Edinburgh Napier University hosted the second U!REKA conference between the 20th and 23rd of November 2017. The Conference brought together more than 100 academics and professional services staff from across all partners. The themes of the conference were centered on the findings of the bibliometric analysis: "Urban Displacement, Migration and Refugees", "Health and Wellbeing in Urban Environments", "Smart Cities", "Sustainable Education" and "Education".
