Overview
Croatian research organizations can join transnational DUT 2026 research and innovation consortia working on climate-neutral and sustainable cities, including 15-minute cities, circular urban economies and positive-energy districts.
Complete grant details
A consortium must include at least three partners from three participating countries and a local-government partner. For Croatian applicants, HRZZ lists eligible costs including research, equipment, dissemination, training and collaboration, open-access publishing, indirect costs and salaries of senior assistants hired through the project. The consortium coordinator submits the joint application through the DUT application system. After joint submission, the Croatian research-group leader must notify HRZZ and submit institutional consent by 24 November 2026.
Eligibility requirements
Croatian higher-education institutions, research institutes and other research organizations with at least five PhD holders in permanent employment for more than one year may seek HRZZ funding. Other legal entities such as cities, municipalities, regional agencies and companies may participate only as Cooperation Partners and cannot receive HRZZ funding for their participation.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
HRZZ’s current open-calls page was checked on 2026-09-08. It states the DUT 2026 joint-proposal deadline as 17 November 2026 and gives Croatia-specific eligibility, consortium and cost rules.
