The Institute for Climate, Economic and Social Resilience (IRCES), a Romania-based NGO, seeks to join existing consortia preparing proposals for the Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Call 2026 under any its 3 Transition Pathways, contributing to transdisciplinary research and innovation for inclusive, sustainable, carbon-neutral and climate-resilient urban development.
IRCES brings expertise in spatial analysis, territorial planning, strategic and sectoral development, public administration, governance and policymaking, alongside specialised competencies in social inclusion, carbon neutrality, climate resilience, economic competitiveness and the New European Bauhaus.
