The Europan 11 Forum of Cities and Juries was held on 4 and 5 November in Oslo, the capital of Norway where the juries and site representatives from all the countries participating in Europan assembled together. Prior to the forum all the countries had completed the first stage of the adjudication.

The first day of the forum, during the discourses and debates, examined a possible theme for Europan 12: “the adaptable city”. The participants also considered to what extent the temporary nature of the use of space influences the design.

The second day was devoted to working groups in which the plans selected for Europan 11, arranged by topic, were discussed by the site representatives and the juries. For both the site representatives and the members of the jury the forum was a good opportunity for exchanging ideas about the sites and the plans selected for them. All the juries now have the difficult task of choosing the winners.

The winners of the Dutch sites will be announced on 14 December 2011 during a festive prize-giving ceremony at the Eindhoven University of Technology [TU/e].
