HORIZON-MISS-2024-CIT-01-01
We would like to announce the Horizon Europe call for proposals on the theme Rethinking urban spaces towards climate neutrality. Horizon Europe is the EU’s flagship programme for research and innovation funding, which runs until 2027 with a budget of €93.5 billion. It addresses global challenges such as climate change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, while boosting competitiveness, growth and industrial innovation in the EU. The programme facilitates collaboration between researchers and supports the development and implementation of EU policies. This call focuses on rethinking and redesigning urban public spaces to integrate smart mobility and energy solutions and ultimately achieve climate neutrality by 2030.
Budget: EUR 45 million.
Objective: The project aims to develop and implement innovative solutions that improve the connectivity of urban space, improve public health through better air quality and make more efficient use of urban spaces.
Results: The project results are expected to contribute to:
- The implementation of smart urban design and smart infrastructure management.
- Improved public health and connectivity of urban space.
- Improved urban mobility and integration of energy systems.
Eligible activities (scope):
Proposals must include pilot demonstrations in at least three cities in different EU Member States or associated countries, focusing on:
- Development of solutions for the design of smart urban public spaces and integrated energy systems.
- Mobility and energy solutions co-designed with local authorities, citizens and stakeholders.
- Raising awareness on the revitalisation of urban public space for economically viable and resilient environments.
- Improved public health through improved air quality and reduced urban overheating and emissions.
- Improved urban connectivity and accessibility through multi-modal services and dynamic management of urban spaces.
Eligibility:
- Include pilot demonstrations in at least three cities, each located in a different Member State or partner country, covering both urban and suburban areas.
- Involve at least three replication cities to develop local replication plans.
- Participants should be technology companies, local and regional authorities, research institutions and public and private organisations committed to the implementation of sustainable urban development projects.
- Ensure collaboration with SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) experts and institutions to enhance social impact.
Deadline for submission: Proposals must be submitted by 11 February 2025.
