Funding opportunities
DUT Calls
At the core of its activities, the DUT Partnership funds transnational research and innovation projects that co-create tools, methods and strategies to drive urban transitions. These projects are guided by the three thematic Transition Pathways and are rooted in collaboration with a wide range of urban actors.
An essential aspect of DUT's mission is the continuous improvement of framework conditions for funding. This includes broadening access to new partners and better engaging stakeholders who are often underrepresented in R&I programmes. DUT also develops and refines funding instruments to better align with its mission-driven approach – supporting inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration, local experimentation and the uptake of research outcomes in urban practice.
Other funding opportunities
In addition to the annual call activities outlined in the DUT Roadmap, DUT will continue to implement further rounds of the Urban Doers Community and experiment with new R&I mechanisms and funding formats. In doing so, DUT serves as a testbed for innovative instruments and enabling conditions that substantially trigger and support urban transitions.
