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
A team of 22 DASH team members from eight partner institutions from Denmark, Portugal, and Germany conducted secondments in Serbia, from April to December 2024. In the organization of the DASH partners from Serbia – the Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijićˮ SANU (GIJCSANU), the City Housing Agency of Čačak (CHAC), and the Association of Urban Planners of Serbia (SUPA) – numerous project activities were realized. The DASH team members participated in joint work and thematic meetings and informative sessions, had insightful presentations and productive discussions, and visited social housing complexes in Belgrade, Čačak, Novi Sad, and Leskovac. Additional activities were realized with organizations outside the DASH consortium, such as the Center for New Cooperative Housing from Belgrade and Association CK13 from Novi Sad.
