Opening of Call 2024 of the European Partnership Driving Urban Transitions
The submission of pre-proposals under Call 2024 of the European Partnership co-funded by DUT - Driving Urban Transitions, for the financing of transnational research and innovation projects, runs until 12 noon (mainland Portugal time) on November 14, 2024.
Call will support research and/or innovation projects, promoted by transnational consortia, that address urban challenges to help cities in their transition to a more sustainable economy and functioning. The challenges are grouped around the DUT's three Transition Pathways(strategic axes): TP Circular Urban Economies Pathway (CUE), TP 15-minute City Pathway (15mC) and TP Positive Energy Districts Pathway (PED).
Created under the Horizon Europe programme, DUT focuses on addressing the challenges posed by urban transition by involving regional, municipal and local communities. The aim is to create and promote a European network of knowledge and critical mass around urban transitions, as well as a research and innovation platform that will help cities become more sustainable, inclusive and liveable.
An online information session will be held on September 10, covering the essential elements of Call. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the national and regional representatives present at the event. Registration is available on the Matchmaking Platform at Call.
The FCT and the Comissão de Coordenação e Desenvolvimento Regional do Centro are the Portuguese organizations funding Call.
