It serves as a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange in metropolitan affairs, aiming to enhance the metropolitan dimension in European planning. The organization partners with European institutions, governmental bodies, and the research community to tackle strategic issues relevant to metropolitan regions. METREX participates in various EU projects, focusing on metropolitan cohesion policies and sustainability transitions.
