Bern, Switzerland

About

We run until end of 2027 the innovation booster https://www.futureurbansociety.ch/en, a social innovation support program in alliance with various city administrations. For the next two years, we are looking at developing calls on 1) energy communities & PEDs, 2) 15mC that could be closely linked to DUT projects.
We have developed networks of administrations, research, designers and innovators that could be leveraged.
