TOPICS

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).

TA CR will support Czech applicants in these topics:

Positive Energy Disctricts Pathway (PED):

  • Towards the climate-neutral city: PEDs, system integration and urban strategies​
  • Managing the urban energy transition: data management and decision support systems​

15-Minutes City Pathway (15mC):

  • Evidence for the urban mobility transition: data and indicators for effective decision-making

Pathway Positive Energy Districts aims to optimise the local energy system through energy efficiency, flexibility and local energy generation from renewables in actions towards the (urban) energy transition and climate-neutrality and mainstreaming these actions in urban planning processes. Pathway 15-Minutes City focusses on rethinking the existing mobility system and urban morphology to encourage sustainable mobility choices, redistribute urban space and reorganise our daily activities to make our cities more climate neutral, liveable and inclusive.
