C-NEWTRAL is a European Doctoral Network funded by Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) are the European Union’s reference programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training. The objective of the MSCA Doctoral Networks is to implement doctoral programmes, by partnerships of universities, research institutions and infrastructures, businesses including SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe and beyond. These doctoral programmes respond to well-identified needs in various research and innovation areas, expose the researchers to the academic and non-academic sectors, and offer research training, as well as transferable skills and competences relevant for innovation and long-term employability.
Our research areas include:
- Project 1: Citizen Science for Urban Nature Regeneration Processes
- Project 2: Mobility justice and the electric mobility transition in comparative contexts
- Project 3: Decision-support system (DSS) to address water scarcity with Nature-based Solutions in cities
- Project 4: User-centred comparative analyses of building energy performance solutions in building clusters
- Project 5: A critical approach to the digital and green transitions in the EU urban water management
- Project 6: Data-Driven Participatory Planning to integrate NbS in Cities
- Project 7: Decision-making support for impact assessment of coupling Active Mobility+Blue-Green Infrastructure
- Project 8: Empowering communities with technological tools (and digital governance) for an active role in achieving climate neutral cities while limiting intersectional inequalities
- Project 9: Effectiveness of decision-making tools for building-energy-circularity nexus for climate-neutrality
- Project 10: Critical examination of assumptions in using AI/DT for flooding/water management governance
- Project 11: Social acceptance of environmental policy implementation for carbon-neutrality in neighbourhood planning
- Project 12: Governance & Planning Index for Sustainable Housing Equitability
