ERA NET Urban Transformation Capacities : BUILDING TRANSFORMATION CAPACITY THROUGH ARTS AND DESIGN: UNLOCKING THE FULL POTENTIAL FOR URBAN TRANSITIONS
The consortium of funding agencies from 7 EU countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Sweden) and European Commission offer nearly 4 m€ to launch and realise collaborative, multidisciplinary, innovative projects for private and public sector actors. The goal of this call is to generate transnational research and innovation projects to support capacity building for urban transformation. More specifically, the aim is to fund projects that are building transformation capacities towards climate neutral and sustainable cities by 2030 and that rely on aesthetic perspectives and approaches in terms of design, form architecture, art and cultural heritage and new forms of governance and collaboration, as well as by engaging citizens.
The duration of a project must not exceed 2 years. The culture and creative sector, with artists, designers, and/or scientists and practitioners should be represented in the project.
The call is now launched.
We are inviting private companies, public stakeholders, research community and local organisations to submit the projects in 3 thematic areas:
- Experimentation and co-creation for a beautiful and sustainable urban future
- Transformation to sustainable cities / urban transformation
- Designing Inclusive, Liveable and Green Neighbourhoods
