Be part of the EU Urban Knowledge Hub! Portico call for tender now open
EUI has launched a new call for tenders to manage, facilitate and run the day-to-day operations of Portico, the EU’s urban knowledge platform. This is a unique opportunity to join us and help connect ideas, people and practices, supporting better urban futures across Europe.
What is Portico?


Portico  is the EU's central knowledge and community hub for urban practitioners across Europe. It brings together knowledge, data, funding opportunities and community interaction to support cities in designing, implementing and scaling up sustainable urban development solutions.


As an early operational component of the forthcoming EU Agenda for Cities, Portico connects cities, urban stakeholders, EU level organisations, institutions and partners in a shared online space, providing access to resources and facilitating mutual learning to strengthen their capacity to deliver sustainable urban development and EU priorities locally.

What are we looking for?


Through this call, the EUI is seeking a contractor who can notably:

  • manage and further develop Portico’s knowledge hub, community and Urban Panorama;
  • integrate high-quality, EU-relevant knowledge and make it easily discoverable;
  • support user engagement, peer exchanges and matchmaking between cities;
  • contribute to the communication, organisation and dissemination of Portico and related EUI and UAEU activities;
  • help to identify potential EUI beneficiaries within the Portico community.

The call for tenders is now open. Interested organisations are invited to apply. Consortia are also eligible.


The deadline for submissions is 6 January 2026 at 12:00 CET. All tender documents and full details are available on the call for tenders page.
