Designscapes Call

The second round of the DESIGNSCAPES  (Building Capacity for Design enabled Innovation in Urban Environments) Open Call is already up and running! 
Candidates now have until 31.07.2019 to submit their applications for Design-enabled Innovation prototypes for the chance of receiving up to €25.000 in funding support. Remember: The next stage welcomes all candidates, including those who have and haven’t applied before. See below for more information.

What are we looking for?

In simple terms, we are looking for innovative solutions to help in facing challenges in the urban context. The best innovations are design-enabled, user-centered, embedded into an urban environment, practical and easily understood.

OBJETIVE: is to exploit the generative potential of urban environments in the highest possible number of European Cities to encourage the uptake and further enhancement and up scaling of Design enabled Innovations by existing enterprises, start-up companies, public authorities and agencies, and other urban stakeholders.

The call is divided into three phases; this second phase is accessible to all candidates, including those who have applied and those who have not applied before. The phases are completely independent of each other, which means that applicants can decide to participate in any of these stages, but being successful in one of them does not create any advantage for the following rounds. The second phase will be open until 31 July. In the third phase, which will be open from 1 August to 29 November 2019, projects will be sought that demonstrate their capacity to expand and exit from an initial state, prototype or commercial.

The second phase will be open until 31 July.
