Eligibility & scope

Fifth co-funded call under the Driving Urban Transitions to a sustainable future (DUT) partnership, supporting transnational projects helping cities tackle urban challenges and transition to climate neutrality and resilience.

Who Should Apply

  • Norwegian-based researchers or innovators joining a transnational consortium
  • Teams working on urban climate-neutrality and resilience challenges
  • Applicants able to form or join a multi-country DUT partnership
  • Institutions with capacity to progress through a two-stage proposal process

Key Dates

  • Pre-proposal deadline: 17 November 2026
  • Full proposal deadline: 15 April 2027
  • Two-stage process: pre-proposal then full proposal

Tips for Applicants

  • Secure transnational partners early, the consortium requirement means pre-proposal teams must already be assembled by the November deadline.
  • Align the project framing explicitly with DUT's urban-transition themes rather than general climate research, since this is a thematic partnership call.
  • Use the gap between pre-proposal and full proposal (Nov 2026 to Apr 2027) to strengthen consortium agreements and co-funding commitments across partner countries.
