Driving Urban Transitions (DUT): call for European projects

The European Partnership Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) to a Sustainable Future aims to support transnational research and/or innovation projects addressing urban challenges as a way of helping cities to transition towards a more sustainable economy and mode of functioning. The challenges are grouped into three themes called Transition Pathways: Circular Urban Economies (CUE), the 15-minute City (15mC) and Positive Energy Districts (PED). The Circular Urban Economies Transition Pathway aims to support cities in becoming more resource efficient to reduce their impact on the planet. The 15-minute City Transition Pathway aims to promote concepts, evidence and interventions that support urban mobility transitions. The Positive Energy Districts Transition Pathway aims to support the planning, implementation and replication of PEDs throughout Europe. For each Transition Pathway, three topics have been defined as focus areas. Projects may address several topics from one or more Transition Pathways, though each must choose one primary topic for evaluation purposes.
