About DASH

Deliver sAfe and Social Housing (DASH) aims to promote sustainable and safe housing by generating new ideas and converting them into concrete housing products and services. Transdisciplinarity is DASH’s methodological foundation. Through collaborative research and peer learning, DASH facilitates the transferability of housing practices across disciplines, sectors and nations, focusing on understanding the specific housing regimes of middle-sized cities. The project employs interdisciplinary learning and co-producing knowledge to develop innovative housing models that cater to diverse cultural and market-specific needs.

Partnership

The DASH interdisciplinary team comprises four intersectoral national consortia consisting of 12 partner organizations from four European countries: Denmark, Germany, Portugal, and Serbia and their second-tier cities: Aalborg, Tübingen, Braga and Čačak, respectively. The project partners are from academic and research institutions, local authorities, private and public housing associations and agencies, and civil society organizations and cooperatives. The team includes individuals with diverse academic backgrounds and professional 2 experiences. DASH’s promotion of cross-level exchanges offers each participant a unique opportunity to learn from external colleagues as they examine different contexts.

Events

In May 2025, DASH’ers met for the annual project thematic workshop. Through previous meetings and secondments, we have gotten to know each other well which provides the ground for in-depth, engaging discussions and fun times. The German hosts had prepared a busy and extremely interesting five-day program in Stuttgart and Tübingen.
