Vote now in the pilot quarter net zero!

Hoi Interested in the pilot district!

until May 13, you have the opportunity to vote for your favorite ideas – and thus directly help decide which projects are one step closer to implementation. After the expert jury has also voted, the selected ideas will be awarded prizes on June 13 at the Pilotquartier Festival.

How do you recognize a good idea for the pilot district?

These questions can help you make your choice:

• Is the idea coherent, understandable and realistically implementable?

• Does it strengthen the neighbourhood and togetherness?

• Is it contributing to the net zero goal?

The final selection of ideas is made up in equal parts from the public voting and the evaluation of an independent, interdisciplinary jury of experts. Together, 25 ideas will be selected, which will start in the next phase in June and will be further developed into concrete project ideas.

What's next:

1st voting phase (13 April – 13 May)
The population will vote on their favourites – but this is not yet the final decision. After 13 May, the expert jury will also evaluate the ideas submitted.

2. Announcement of the selected ideas (13 June)
The 25 selected ideas will be presented at the Pilotquartier festival – an ideal opportunity to network and find comrades-in-arms.

3. Project forges (July – September 2026)
Together with experts, the ideas are further developed into feasible project ideas.
Dates: 11 July, 29 August, 26 September
If you would like to explicitly contribute to one of the selected project ideas: Enter the dates now!

4. Final voting (6 – 23 November)
The public and the jury will evaluate again – again with 50% weighting each.

5. Implementation from 2027
The final selected projects will be funded and implemented.
