The legacy of its prestigious past in the field of the “Arts du Feu”, (“Fire Arts” encompassing porcelain, enamel and glass-making) and its new skills in the field of technical ceramics have naturally led Limoges to coordinate the UNIC (Urban Innovation in Ceramics Network): a European network of ceramic-producing cities.

This network, formed in the framework of the URBACT 2 programme, includes nine member cities which share a common industrial and craft-based heritage based on ceramics. Its aims are to protect the legacies on which the reputation of these cities was built, defend jobs, businesses and expertise, invest in order to promote the trades of the future and finally, to stimulate harmonious urban development.
