Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Call 2026

Open

Applications close on 17 Nov 2026 (EU calls usually close at 17:00 Brussels time). Organisations in EU member states and Horizon Europe associated countries such as Türkiye can usually take part; the topic conditions control.

Who can apply

The DUT Partnership steps up the game to tackle urban challenges. Through research and innovation and capacity building we enable local authorities and municipalities, service and infrastructure providers, and citizens to translate global strategies into local action.

We develop the skills and tools to make urban change happen and boost the urgently needed urban transformations towards a sustainable future with enhanced quality of life in cities.

In Stage 1, the transnational application (pre-proposal) must be submitted via the transnational submission system by 13:00 CET on November 17, 2026. Some participating Funding Agencies may have additional (sometimes differing) national submissions. The submitted pre-proposals will be checked for national and transnational eligibility. Eligible pre-proposals will be evaluated by an independent panel of experts. Finally, based on the ranking lists put together by these experts, a number of pre-proposals will be invited to submit a full proposal in Stage 2.

Applicant categories are a starting point. The official call decides eligibility.

Timing

Next deadline 2026-11-17; later cut-offs 2027-04-15. Check the call page for the exact time.
