The Twinning program will guide twin cities in their learning and replication efforts from pilot cities, with a practical focus on replicating the systemic transformation methods and innovative approaches demonstrated by the pilot activities, on the path towards climate neutrality.
The program will run for 20 months of knowledge sharing and transfer of good practices between future selected Twin Cities, and the cities selected to join NetZeroCities' Pilot Cities program in March 2023. The program will be based on a practical approach to knowledge sharing from pilot cities to twin cities, while enabling a peer learning framework, allowing pilot cities to also learn from twin cities. Upon completion of the learning cycle, Twin Cities will embed the lessons learned from pilot activities across the city via a replication plan.
The call selects European cities to join the Twinning program. The call is open from May 3 to June 30 for cities based in EU Member States or Horizon 2020 associated countries. Any city can apply, selected as one of the 100+12 mission cities or not.
The aim of the modules is to provide a framework for participating cities to enable the best possible knowledge transfer between cities. The framework is built around dedicated outputs and a facilitated process while leaving enough room for flexibility for cities to shape the learning journey.
To ensure that Twin City participants make the most of the face-to-face exchanges, travel costs will be reimbursed up to a certain amount. Further information will be made available to successful Twin City applicants upon successful selection.
