Workshop: Updating Urban Segregation Computation with R

Together with the SEGUE project and the Rbanism community, PLANET-NL would like to invite you to TU Delft’s workshop on urban segregation computation with R.

In November 2026, TU Delft is hosting a workshop gathering members of the SEGUE project, members of the Rbanism community and external experts, to identify and prioritise the methodological and technical developments needed to address big theoretical questions in the field of urban segregation (with R).

During 5 days, this workshop will foster research discussions spanning the diversity of theories and approaches to urban segregation (in terms of location, scale and social attributes considered, as well as type of data used), create a community of urban scholars who can collaborate on frontier research projects, comparative analysis, theory and methodology development, but also prepare the development of an R package dedicated to assist with the selection of appropriate measures of urban segregation (a “routemap”), their computation, visualization and analysis necessary to tackle state-of-the-art research questions in the field of urban segregation.

The workshop will be held on 9-13th November 2026 in Delft, the Netherlands. 

If you would like to be part of this event, please fill in the registration form before 30th June 2026. Admission results will be communicated mid-July 2026. We expect to invite between 10 and 20 participants to this workshop.

For those making strong contributions to the field of urban segregation, we would appreciate that you consider applying to the workshop yourself, or forward the invitation to someone in your network who might benefit from it (e.g. early career researcher, outside dominant institutions or with a less developed professional network).

Detailed information about the event including funding support is available at https://erc-segue.nl/Workshop, but if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Yuliia Kazmina (y.kazmina@uva.nl).
