Guidance for completing the DUT Online Survey and the Impact Self-Assessment

In addition to the online survey, an annual project progress report must be uploaded to the OMS. The Word template for this report is sent out to the consortium lead annually.

Entries can be saved by clicking on the Save-button at the bottom of the form. By clicking on the Finalise-button, the survey is completed and an automatic notification is sent to the Project Contact Point. However, needed changes can be made at any given moment by accessing the form again.

If you have any questions or require clarification, please contact linda.lackner@ffg.at.

Project Information

Abstract
This section is pre-filled with information from the submission system. Please regularly update your abstract if necessary.

Project Keywords
This section is pre-filled with information from the submission system. Please regularly update your project keywords (max. 5) if necessary. Separate your entries with comma (without blanks between different entries).

Scientific Disciplines
Please select the scientific disciplines that are involved in the project (on project level).

Project Organisations

Project Partners

This table initially shows all project partners from your project funded through the respective call based on the database entries. If non-funded project partners were registered during the submission, they are listed as well. If there have been any changes to the consortium, additional partners can be added. If you need to remove any partners, please contact us via linda.lackner@ffg.at.

Staff Figures

Please regularly update the staff of your project. Please only consider personnel financed directly by your project. State full-time equivalents for the different categories.

Collaboration and Interactions with Project Partners, external Stakeholders and other Projects/Programmes

Involvement of Project Partners

Please update this table for each annual and the final survey.

This table examines the extent to which the project partners were involved in various activities (such as the development of the project idea and proposal, involvement in project management and decision-making, etc.). For each activity, please enter the planned level of involvement and the actual realised level.

Types of Interactions with Urban Actors

Please update this table for each annual and the final survey.

This table records the various interactions with urban actors (such as co-creation activities/workshops, long-term engagement, policy debates, etc.). Please describe the type of interaction and the activity, as well as the location, number of interactions, participants and status.

Cooperation with/Links to Other Projects and Programmes

Please update this table for each annual and the final survey.

Please list any collaborations with other projects in this section.

Expected Impact of Project Innovations and other Outputs 

Project Objectives and Achievements

Please update this table for each annual and the final survey.

Please provide a description of the three main objectives of your project, along with their current implementation status in %.

Innovations1 envisaged and realised

Please update this table for each annual and the final survey.

Please describe one to three innovations1 (planned and realised). The columns Number of Technology or Process Components that are modular and transferable and Realised are to be completed only in the final survey.

1 Innovation: An innovative solution, with relevance for achieving a climate neutral and resilient urban future for all, enabled by DUT, and with potential for scaling. The innovations should aim for a practical rather than a scientific use.

Please update this table for each annual and the final survey.

Please describe a minimum of one and a maximum of five project outputs other than innovations (see options in the drop-down menu. The column Realised is only to be completed in the final survey.

Scaling of Innovations and Outputs

Please fill in and update this table for the second and the final survey.

In the previous two questions you indicated the most important innovations and outputs (and numbers) that you will develop in your project. They are listed below.

Please indicate from the list per innovation and output their scaling perspective; which further development of the innovation or output do you expect to happen (Scaling in, Scaling out, etc.)?

Impact Dimensions2

Please fill in this table for the secondsurvey and update it for the final survey.

Again, the earlier indicated innovations and outputs are listed here.

Please indicate for each of the innovations and outputs if they make of will make impact in a specific dimension2 and on which level(s). If the innovation or output is not making impact in a specific dimension, leave the box empty.

2 Dimensions:

Technology & Infrastructure

Innovations and outputs related to physical and digital system. Contributing to make transitions or solutions technically possible

For instance:

• planning software, digital decision support tools, digital dashboards, digital twins
• green and blue infrastructure and nature-based solutions
• smart grid technology
• production methods, food growing, recycling processes

Business & Economy

Innovations and outputs related to the economics of societal transitions. Contributing to make transitions or solutions feasible, viable and competitive

For instance:

• business cases
• business models
• finance models and market innovation

Policy & Governance

Innovations and outputs related to policies, regulations, steering mechanisms and strategic plans that propose a new way to systematically address a challenge. Contributing to embed transitions or solutions in governing bodies

For instance:

• local planning and investments policies and programmes
• sectoral and regional policies or programmes
• EU and national directives and regulations

Society, Culture & Values

Innovations and outputs related to enhancing the knowledge, capacities, capabilities, awareness, know-how, and skills of stakeholders as well as how they organise and interact. Contributing to influence or enlarge the ability in society to change

For instance:

• approaches for involving stakeholders and models for collaboration among them
• programmes that address consumption or mobility patterns, behaviours or attitudes
• training programmes for professionals

Achievement on Readiness per Impact Dimension

Please fill in this table for the secondsurvey and update it for the final survey.

In this question you will assess your project as a whole, regarding the change in the different readiness levels. Please pick at least one dimension, more if relevant. Also select the most important one.

Project’s Contribution to Transition Pathway Missions

Please fill in this table only in the final survey.

Please state here how and to which transition pathway (PED, 15mC, CUE) your project has contributed.

Transition Categories

Please fill in this table for the secondsurvey and update it for the final survey.

Please indicate for your project as a whole in which Key Areas of Action (KA) and on which element(s) your project will have possible impact. Be aware that your project can also have impact in other Transition Pathways or elements. Please indicate that too. Choose at least one Key Area of Action and specify the elements (more answers possible).

You can pick one or more elements within one Key Area of Action, and you can do this for more than one Key Area of Action.
