projects. The CliCCHE partnership brings together four academic partners, one research center and four cities from Italy, Cyprus, Portugal and Serbia: University of Camerino, Camerino, Italy; University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia; National Research Council, Rome, Italy; Cyprus Institute, Nicosia, Cyprus; University Institute of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal and associated cities: City of Valjevo, Serbia; San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy; Lisbon, Portugal; Municipality of Strovolos, Nicosia, Cyprus.

The University of Belgrade, Faculty of Architecture, during the entire cycle of the CliCCHE project (January 2022 - January 2024), applied the principles and results of the CliCCHE project in its regular teaching and research and thus widely promoted the mission, vision and values of the CliCCHE project within its own academic community. In addition, during that entire period, most of the practical research and educational activities were realized in the city of Valjevo, the local academic partner of the project, and thus the dissemination of the project was also extensively realized in the local community of the partner city, at all levels of social organization: public, private and civilian sector.
