Inspiration for the cities of the future
DIN supports research projects by, among other things, analysing relevant standards for the project and transferring the project results into standardization. In the field of digital, smart, and sustainable cities, DIN is currently active in the following two European projects. Inquiries regarding participation in further projects are welcome.
U_Can - Ukraine towards Carbon Neutrality
In light of the war and the massive destruction of infrastructures in its cities and communities, Ukraine needs support from international partners in many ways. The EU project U_Can looks towards the future and aims to support reconstruction with a focus on the goals of climate neutrality and smart city strategies.

The Integrator-centric approach for connected sustainable green neighbourhoods
The European research project PROBONO aims to demonstrate how technological and social innovations can be implemented to realize sustainable, CO2-neutral and environmentally friendly buildings and neighbourhoods, so-called Green Buildings and Neighbourhoods (GBN). PROBONO wants to focus on the development of infrastructures on the one hand and on social aspects with regard to sustainability on the other hand. Smart technologies and digitalization are to be used to implement this. Further information on PROBONO
