DUT Calls 2025 & 2026: Stakeholder Consultation

The Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Partnership is a public-public partnership between currently 68 partners from 29 European countries, and the European Commission. As a transnational research and innovation programme, we address key challenges that cities face in their endeavour to become sustainable and enhance the quality of life for their citizens.

DUT launches yearly joint calls for R&I projects, with the intention of connecting stakeholders from different backgrounds, creating communities and capacities, and translate the results of the funded projects into practice. We follow a participatory and co-creative approach, link place-based interventions with a system innovation perspective, and apply a broad definition of innovation.

This survey provides an opportunity for you to reflect on and shape the call priorities for DUT’s transnational joint calls 2025 and 2026. As a DUT partner, policy maker, urban practitioner, creator, entrepreneur and/or researcher working on urban transitions, we invite you to participate in this survey. We hope for your support in identifying and highlighting the most pressing urban challenges and priorities that will help cities become more inclusive, sustainable and liveable. To this end, we build on your expertise and experience and kindly ask you to answer this survey.

The results and outcomes will feed into the call development process with the participating funding agencies. The DUT Partnership will process your data in accordance with GDPR regulations. Thus, your responses are anonymous, used for internal purposes only, and will not be published.
