Driving Urban Transitions (DUT)

Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Partnership is a Europe-wide research & innovation initiative (67 partners across 28 countries) co-funded under Horizon Europe (2022–2028). It supports the urban transition to sustainability, climate neutrality, and resilience via capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and annual funding calls focusing on three “Transition Pathways”: 15-minute City, Circular Urban Economies, and Positive Energy Districts. DUT provides matchmaking tools, knowledge exchange via communities and panels, and dissemination of best practices; it fosters an innovation ecosystem around urban living labs and equips cities, businesses, researchers, and citizens to act.
