The DUT Partnership Call 2024 is the third call under the Driving Urban Transitions Partnership and is co-funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe Partnership scheme.
The purpose of this Call 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 (PED),
- the 15-minute City (15mC) and
- Circular Urban Economies (CUE).
Czech applicants will be able to participate only in the PED and 15mC Transition Pathways. Each Transition Pathway is divided into three call topics, the topics, where Czech applicants will be able to participate, will be published on this page during the month of July.
Each proposal must involve, at least, three partners from three countries of this list and eligible for funding by their respective national/regional Funding Agency. The added value of transnational collaboration should be clearly stated. The Call is open 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 to engage explicitly stakeholders (companies, public authorities, NGOs…) in the projects and to consider users’ needs in the identification of the project goals.
The rules of this call for Czech applicants are based on the “SIGMA” programme. The total amount of TA CR support per call for Czech applicants in international projects is 550 000 EUR. The maximum funding per project will be also published on this page in July. The maximum intensity of support for the Czech side of the project is 80% of the total eligible costs of the project.
The DUT Partnership is organising an Info Day for all the interested potential applicants. The event will take place on 10th September 2024 at 10:00-13:00. More information and registration can be found here.
