Replication is a term often used in EU-funded projects: something is planned, something is done and then, that ‘something’ is replicated by somebody. This means more than just copying: it is about adjusting, adapting – reapplying an already tested approach while avoiding the mistakes and pitfalls from the first time.
This is the aim of this Replication Roadmap as well1: to help the reader replicate what was done in the drOp project while also learning what not to do. In this Roadmap, we have gathered everything we have done with and within cities in the drOp project from 2022 to 2025 – all the methodologies we developed and applied, and insights gained from the use cases of our partner cities, who have already been on this journey.
Everywhere in the Roadmap you will also find our little “drops”, befittingly called, which are our lessons learnt, our little tips and tricks. They will offer guidance, inspiration, and tell you where to tread carefully.
We invite you to immerse yourself in drOp project learnings, become inspired and bring change to your cities as well!
