About
We are interested in acting as a pilot city and testing ground for EU-funded projects, particularly in the fields of climate change adaptation, circular economy, and urban regeneration. Çankaya Municipality is currently implementing Horizon Europe and DUT-funded projects, including Urban Living Labs and nature-based solutions in the Bademlidere area. We are open to partnerships, pilot implementations, and knowledge exchange with cities, research institutions, and project developers.
