UTA in EU Projects

How UTA turns its network of cities, innovators and researchers into funded European projects, pilots and transferable results.

From Consortia to Pilots

UTA takes part in EU-funded research and innovation projects as a consortium partner. Our network spots the challenge and the right partners; a consortium applies for EU funding; the funded project delivers real technology, pilots and tools; and what we learn flows back to UTA members and cities. Explore the European projects UTA contributes to below.
