The seminar series SS25.AI4UG “Coproducing a research agenda for responsible and transparent AI-capabilities for decision support in urban governance” , funded by the Urban Studies Foundation (USF-SSA-250604), aims at promoting an urgently needed transdisciplinary academic debate with academics and urban governance practitioners on the development of a coproduced research agenda for new responsible and transparent AI capabilities for accessible decision support for urban governance.
An agenda that responds to the needs of stakeholders, supported by hard evidence from urban sciences, and engaged with technologists and technology developers.

This agenda will consolidate its validity via demonstrative training sessions for PhD students, Early Career Researchers (ECRs, as defined by the UKRI) and will be open to other academics and practitioners.
It will be disseminated among wider audiences via global webinars and policy briefs, with the support of leading urban governance agencies and science and cultural dissemination forums in the diplomatic and cooperation spaces.

We invite academics working on urban research, including PhD students and ECRs, and urban governance practitioners to register for our launch Webinar 0.

We will present the SS25.AI4UG research plan, detailing the purpose of each seminar (Boston, Brasilia and Manchester) and the methods used in the training sessions associated with the seminars.

The SS25.AI4UG has the support of the Massachusetts Municipal Association (USA), the National Federation of Mayors (Brazil) and the Local Government Information Unit (UK).

"The USF Fellowship supported me in many ways, especially by providing time to write and publish journal articles in a department aligned with my research interests. As an early career interdisciplinary scholar working on public transport, this period away from teaching and admin allowed me to focus and grow. Being based at the Centre for Transport & Society at UWE, Bristol, was particularly helpful — not only for mentoring, but also for building new networks with UK-based scholars and other USF Fellows. These connections will undoubtedly foster future collaborations."
