The fourth DUT City Panel will take place in Szeged, Hungary on the theme of Greener Cities, Smarter Futures: Digital Innovation and Collaborative Action in Urban Greening & Climate Adaptation. From 6-7 October, participants will discuss on strategies for digital innovation and collective action on urban greening & climate adaptation, as well as related perspectives on mobility, energy, regenerative urbanism and circularity, learning on examples from cities all over Europe. Participants will deep dive into ways of engaging the local ecosystem – from politics and business to academia and civil society – to create viable, inclusive solutions in more liveable cities, and on how to make use of digital innovations in these processes.
About the DUT City Panel
The DUT Partnership strongly commits to actively engage with city representatives, as problem owners and experts for urban use cases, to involve their experience, needs and requirements and build a platform for learning and exchange on innovative solutions for urban transitions. This is why DUT established the DUT City Panel to make research and innovation relevant and applicable for cities, and the reason we are inviting you to this year’s meeting in Szeged.
Participation at the DUT City Panel meeting is only for city representatives. Registration takes place by invitation only and addresses the DUT City Panel community as well as cities involved in DUT funded projects.
