Stage 1 of the DUT Call 2023 is OPEN for pre-proposal submission
The purpose of this call for proposals is to support transnational research and/or innovation projects addressing urban challenges to help cities in their transition towards a more sustainable economy and functioning. The challenges are grouped into three themes called ‘Transition Pathways: Positive Energy Districts, the 15-minute City and Circular Urban Economies.
It is the second call of the European Partnership Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) which is co-funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe.
The projects selected will be funded directly by national/regional funding agencies.
Each proposal must involve, at least, three partners from three countries on this list and that are eligible for funding by their respective national/regional funding agency (please consult your national/regional annex at the Call text). The added value of transnational collaboration should be clearly stated. For consortium composition take also a look on our guidance overiew.
The DUT Call 2023 is opened to a wide range of scientific disciplines and welcomes interdisciplinary approaches. It intends to support a large range of activities, from research to innovation and implementation.
It also asks applicants to engage explicitly with stakeholders (companies, public authorities, NGOs …) in the projects and to consider users’ needs in the identification of the project goals. Projects are expected to take a transdisciplinary and preferably co-creative approach from the early project formulation stages.
Deadline: 21st November 2023
