The Esch Clinics is an urban research project promoted by the Chair of The City of Esch at the University of Luxembourg. The project will accompany The City of Esch in its regeneration process from an economy founded on the extractive steel industry in Central Europe to one based on knowledge and services. The project, led by Prof. Markus Miessen and César Reyes Nájera, started on September 1st 2024 and will run until the end of 2027. The core project team includes Markus Miessen, César Reyes Nájera, Gustav Kjær Vad Nielsen, and Kristina Shatokina, accompanied by approximately 70 international and regional contributors, who will be working with the Chair of the City of Esch until the summer of 2026, after which the team will work on the deliverables, namely a national, public campaign concerning urban commons, the delivery of policy recommendations on local, regional, and national levels, as well as a major publication and online resource documenting the entire period of the project.
