• EU Member State
  • Candidate country
Cities in the ESCA network, plotted by coordinates. Marker size indicates the number of projects that city has in the pipeline; country codes mark national centroids.

Coverage

Across the Union and the candidate countries.

The network deliberately spans both. A city in Chisinau and a city in Ghent face different constraints, and the useful comparisons run in both directions.

  • Cities and public authorities in EU Member States and in candidate countries.
  • Industry members, with no vote and no procurement advantage.
  • Strategic and knowledge partners, each published with its scope and its limits.
  • Independent experts, engaged for specific work under declared interests.

Categories

Five relationships, deliberately distinct.

There is no single undifferentiated logo wall on this site. What an organisation is, and what its relationship covers, is stated wherever it appears.

Municipalities and their operating entities.

How the data connects

One taxonomy across everything.

A sector is not a tag on an article. It is a key that retrieves the projects, funding calls, experts, members, reports and events in that sector, because they all use the same vocabulary.

Join the network

Cities, industry and institutions, on separate terms.

City membership and industry membership are different packages with different obligations. They are not variants of one product, and they are not priced against each other.
