Partnerships
The Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Partnership is a European Partnership under the R&I framework programme Horizon Europe. The aim of the DUT partnership is to support transnational research and/or innovation projects addressing urban challenges in order to help cities transition to a more sustainable economy and way of operating.
You can find more information about the DUT partnership here.
Each year, between 2022 and 2028, a call for projects will be launched in September. The challenges to be studied are grouped into three themes called “transition pathways”:
- Positive Energy Districts (PED)
- 15-minute city (15mC)
- Urban circular economy (CUE)
Each theme is further subdivided into several topics. You can find all the details of the calls for proposals at this link https://dutpartnership.eu/dut-calls. To find out more about the eligibility conditions for Innoviris support under the DUT, please visit our dedicated web page.
The Chips for Europe Initiative fosters technological capacity and innovation through pilot lines for advanced semiconductor technologies and large-scale infrastructures, open to all EU players.
Its mission is to accelerate technological innovation and foster sustainable growth across essential industries by advancing cutting-edge research and development. Through strategic initiatives, the aim is to bolster Europe’s competitive edge in the global semiconductor market. By promoting collaboration between public and private sectors, the initiative allows to create resilient supply chains, improve production capabilities, and drive the adoption of environmentally responsible technologies.
