Driving Urban Transition (DUT) Partnership

The project summary

The DUT Partnership steps up the game to tackle urban challenges. We enable local authorities and municipalities, business and citizens to translate global strategies into local action. We develop the skills and tools to make urban change happen and boost the urgently needed urban transformations. To this end, the DUT partnership pools resources from 39 participating research programme owners / managers in 27 countries into a joint programme implemented through a series of joint calls for R&I projects and a comprehensive management and implementation plan promoting coordination, networking, training, mobilisation, demonstration and dissemination.
