  Accelerating       the       climate
  transition in difficult contexts:
  transition super-labs (pilot)
  (ONLY 1 CSA of 2 M€!) →
  Objective: To set of pilot activities
  designed to prepare the launch of
  several fully-fledged transition
  super-labs at a subsequent stage.
  → Transition Super Labs are real-
  life laboratories where rapid shift
  to      climate     neutrality      is
  conceptualised,       implemented,
  monitored and revised in an
  integrated way. Similar to “living
  labs” but operating at a much
  larger      scale    (regions      or
  metropolitan areas).                     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9JrmkChiZs

❑ HORIZON-CL5-2021-D2-01-16: Co-Funded Partnership: Driving Urban
   Transitions to a sustainable future (DUT)
The EU Partnership for ‘Driving Urban Tradition to Sustainable Future’ is expected to present a
joint programme of activities implemented through a series of joint calls for R&I projects and
a comprehensive management and implementation plan promoting coordination,
networking, training, demonstration and dissemination.

    ✓ joint calls for challenge-driven R&I;
    ✓ Setting-up of a multi-stakeholder community of practice to facilitate science-policy-
      business-society dialogues and sharing of experiences;
    ✓ Pursuing communication and dissemination measures to make R&I results accessible
      for all stakeholder groups;
    ✓ Preparation of methodologies, guidelines, references and tools for replication and
      mainstreaming of good “practice”;
    ✓ Clustering of projects and synthesising of R&I results;
    ✓ Setting-up a knowledge hub, organising training activities, fostering ULLs and
      experience sharing on new approaches and solutions to support capacity building
      among urban actors;
    ✓ Addressing standardisation, certification or, wherever necessary, legislative issues;
    ✓ Setting-up rigorous monitoring to assess progress towards achieving the objectives of
      the Partnership and its contribution to relevant EU policies;

ATTENTION: Links with Urban Innovative Actions (UIA) under the Urban
Agenda for the EU, European Urban Initiative (EUI) under cohesion policy,
ESIF, private funds, etc. should be explored to support take-up and larger scale
implementation of tested approaches and solutions.
Last but not least…
