Cooperation possibilities within the framework of Horizon Europe and National Funding Programmes

Digital event series “Morgenstadt – City of the Future”

How can inner cities be designed to cope with current crises, trends and challenges? What role do data-driven approaches play in urban data management? How can climate resilience and climate neutrality be integrated into urban planning? What challenges are other cities currently facing and what best practices are there? With the digital event series “Morgenstadt - City of the Future”, our experts offer the members of the Morgenstadt initiative and all interested parties a platform for exchange and networking about the latest findings, ongoing projects and funding programs. 

The scientists of the Morgenstadt Initiative invite you to discuss the “Horizon Europe” funding program, which focuses on health, culture and creativity, civil security, digitalization, climate, energy and mobility, food and natural resources as well as agriculture and environment. Furthermore, national funding programmes will be discussed and options for collaboration will be elaborated.

Based on these thematic priorities, the experts of the Morgenstadt Network would like to present a new possible application idea for the cluster “Climate, Energy and Mobility”. Following a general introduction on funding programmes within the Morgenstadt Network, participants can join a workshop on Horizon Europe (in English) or national funding programmes (in German). The aim of this event is to present and exchange new project ideas and to discuss possible new cooperation opportunities with potential project partners
