The aim of the Call is to support transnational research and/or innovation projects addressing urban challenges to help cities in their transition towards a more sustainable economy and functioning. The challenges are grouped into three themes for each of which several call topics have been defined:
General information about the call is available on this website. The DUT Launch Conference takes place in Brussels on 4 and 5 October. An Info Day (webinar) for applicants will be held on 18 October 2022. Detailed info about this webinar, including registration is availabe here.
More information on available funding can be found on the partnership’s website. Questions on available funding by FWO? Contact europe@fwo.be . Questions on available funding by VLAIO? Contact Veerle.Desmet@vlaio.be
Background: Driving Urban Transitions Partnership (DUT) is the new programme starting in 2022, building upon the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe. The DUT Partnership steps up the game to tackle urban challenges. DUT is realised as a co-funded European partnership of more than 60 partners from 27 countries, involving national and regional policy makers, funders and urban-related policy agencies to invest in urban R&I and strengthen a European innovation eco-system for urban transitions.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
