Network Projects - Sustainable Cities 2025

The EARTH Innovation Alliance (E5) Call for Projects on Sustainable Cities is a funding opportunity for international collaborative R&D projects addressing carbon-neutral cities and sustainable urban development. This call has been launched by Austria, Finland, Israel, Singapore, and Sweden following Eureka's Network Projects framework. Projects must focus on developing innovative technologies and solutions that help cities meet social and economic needs while operating within ecological limits. Eligible research areas include advanced materials for the built environment, sustainable energy, resource circularity, and urban mobility. Projects must involve at least two independent legal entities from a minimum of two participating countries, with clear commercialization goals and market launch expected within 24 months of project completion. The initiative aims to accelerate development and scale-up of breakthrough climate technologies through cross-sector innovation and public-private co-innovation.
