About the DUT Partnership
The DUT Partnership started in 2022 and steps up the game to tackle urban challenges. As a transnational research and innovation (R&I) funding programme, the DUT Partnership aims at supporting much needed urban transformation processes across Europe and thus strengthens capacities and tools to make urban change happen and boost transformations towards climate neutral, liveable and inclusive cities.
