Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
Scope:
Effective and efficient urban mobility systems are the backbone of competitive cities, without them the economy comes to a standstill. While cities are going through a rapid digital, green and social transformation, local and regional authorities play bigger roles and take on greater responsibilities in contributing to the prosperity, climate-neutrality and competitiveness of the European Union.
However, the deployment of innovative sustainable mobility solutions has been hampered by fragmentation of the support to cities at regional, national and EU level, lack of resources for experimentation with new approaches, insufficient knowledge on research results and innovative solutions, and difficulties for urban stakeholders to exchange knowledge, experiences and lessons learned, including providing feedback to policy makers and the research community.
The aim of this coordination and support action is to address the barriers to the deployment of innovative urban mobility projects’ results through a comprehensive and collaborative approach, while further strengthening the European urban mobility innovation ecosystem.
Taking into account the previous CIVITAS coordination and support action[1], in collaboration with, and avoiding overlaps with, the Cities Mission Platform[2] and other relevant initiatives, the action is expected to address - in a clear and streamlined approach - all of the following aspects:
Since 2002 CIVITAS acts as an open platform that facilitates research, the uptake of innovative solutions, the validation of research results, the exchange of knowledge and best practices, and common learning in the area of urban mobility and transport. The project selected under this topic will help to ensure the long-term support for the R&I urban mobility projects offering governance, and an organisational and logistical framework that guarantees the wide dissemination and take up of urban mobility project results.
