Project Acronym: SpurUP
Project Full Title: Sustainable Peri-Urban framework for Climate Neutral development
Duration: 01/01/2026 – 30/04/2029
Topic: Integrated peri-urban areas in the transition towards climate neutrality (HORIZON-MISS-2024-CIT-01-04)
Project Website: https://spurup.eu/
Suite5 in SpurUP
Suite5 is responsible for the development of the SpurUP Knowledge Hub. The Knowledge Hub shall facilitate the sharing of insights and strategies among local governing bodies to better address the challenges of industry and governance in peri-urban areas. It will improve collaboration for end-users such as operators, policymakers, public authorities, and standardization bodies by enabling more structured interactions, communication, and coordination. Furthermore, it will encourage the use of key exploitable results (KERs), building communities of practice for resource sharing and matchmaking. The Knowledge Hub shall also document key outcomes, statistics, best practices, and challenges, while enabling dissemination and knowledge exchange. Furthermore, Suite5 shall contribute to Project Management, Dissemination/Communication and Exploitation activities.
The SpurUP project brings together 34 partners from 11 EU countries, including universities and research institutions, technology providers, local authorities, industries and NGOs. This diverse and experienced team will work together to create resilient, climate-neutral peri-urban regions that enhance the sustainability and well-being of communities, addressing the challenges under the domains of industry and governance.
SpurUP aims to integrate net-zero technologies and foster participatory governance to tackle environmental pressures and fragmented governance in these regions. The project will establish Local Green Deals (LGDs) to unite public and private sectors in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improving energy efficiency, and promoting social equity and sustainability.
Implemented through 3 Living Labs in Thessaloniki, Greece; Aalborg, Denmark; and Jesi, Italy, SpurUP will test innovative technologies and digital tools tailored to each region's needs. Key objectives include decarbonization, circular economy practices, and enhanced governance and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, 3 replication sites in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria; Tulcea, Romania; and Bristol, UK will further demonstrate the scalability and adaptability of the solutions.
SpurUP aims to significantly reduce GHG emissions, improve energy efficiency, and increase the deployment of renewable energy technologies. The project will promote sustainable industrial practices and better integrate peri-urban areas into planning processes.
The project employs a three-tier strategy to maximize impact and scalability. The first tier involves testing and validating solutions in the Living Labs. The second tier engages an external group of stakeholders, including regional and local authorities, to provide feedback and validate the solutions. The third tier focuses on scaling and replicating successful solutions across additional regions and local authorities in Europe and globally.
