DUT City Panel Vienna

The DUT Partnership organises a joint meeting of the DUT City Panel and the the DUT Public Officers and Practitioners Community (PoPC) in Vienna. This will be the first in-person meeting of the panel, giving opportunity to direct personal exchange, discussions and work on projects in your cities, and visit exciting projects and developments in Vienna. With a focus on practical experience of participating cities, the key topic of the event is on the learnings cities can take from other cities, and how these learnings can be integrated in concrete urban strategies. The event will include expert inputs, workshops with the cities and site visits to exciting projects in Vienna.

Strategies and actions taken by European cities are essential for meeting European ambitions towards climate-neutrality. The DUT Partnership strongly commits to actively engage in a consultative manner with representatives of urban public administration for its activities. As problem-owners and experts for urban use cases, involving their experience, needs and requirements is essential in order to develop challenge-driven and innovative solutions.

By addressing key issues of the DUT Transition Pathways – the 15-minute City, Circular Urban Economies and Positive Energy Districts– the DUT City Panel therefore aims to:

• shape priorities of a transnational European R&I programme by bringing in local expertise, experiences and needs,
• exchange, discuss and learn from experiences of other European municipalities and cities,
• actively contribute to developing strategies towards climate-neutral, sustainable, inclusive and liveable urban environments.

The Public Officers and Practitioners Community (PoPC) aims at further developing the dialogue between research and practitioners by addressing four types of gaps:

• organisational
• procedures and procurement
• funding
• technological solutions
