EIT URBAN MOBILITY - Innovation Programme
May 13, 2024 09:00Urban mobility is undergoing one of the most transformational shifts of a generation. A successful strategy in the industry requires the adoption of a comprehensive and coherent approach, centred on innovative ventures that are disrupting this landscape. This drastic global transformation may account for the potentially disruptive long-term impacts, where the new pace of living, consuming, and behaving in cities create a new paradigm for mobility companies to develop products, services, and technologies in all facets: collective, individual, and goods transport. While the pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the economy, the crisis has also encountered major opportunities for innovation and investments. Examples of drivers underpinning this ongoing transformation are mobility companies with high financial, and environmental impact and growth potential. In pursuit of leading positive change and business prosperity, EIT Urban Mobility is granting financial support up to €500,000 per company in mobility ventures to accelerate their journey, continue critical innovation and ultimately transform the European urban mobility landscape. We look forward to receiving your applications for inclusion in the Business Plan 2023-2025.

EC - European Agriculture Data Partnership
May 21, 2024 13:59This partnership aims to enhance climate, environmental and socio-economic sustainability, and productivity of agriculture and to strengthen policy monitoring and evaluation capacities through exploiting the potential of Earth and environmental observation and other data, in combination with innovative data technologies. The partnership’s activities (parts of which will be carried out through financial contributions to third parties) are all together expected to contribute to all the following outcomes: - Increased environmental, climate and socio-economical sustainability performance of the agriculture sector; - Strengthened capacities to evaluate the effectiveness of policies (with reference to agriculture, environmental- and market-related policies and the combined potential effects of them); - Increased sharing and harmonisation of data across countries and different actors (e.g. scientists, policymakers, practitioners, businesses, farmers, and other end users) based to the extent possible on FAIR[1]data principles; the exploitation of synergies through better integration of environmental, space and in-situ observations within Europe and the consideration of the needs and capacities of different actors should be guiding principles; - Accelerating the delivery of more and better data-based solutions to the end users, in particular farmers, the public administration and policy makers; - Enhanced contribution from the agriculture sector to the protection of the environment, including air quality, halting and, if possible, reversing biodiversity loss in Europe, as well as to the reduction of the emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture; - Enabling the sector and strengthen its capacity to adapt to climate change and to meet the objectives set by sustainability-related policies, considering e.g. risk analyses/indicators, such as environmental, technical, economic or social risks; - Building the necessary structures, systems and concepts includes data infrastructures needed to develop innovative data-based solutions for both policy-making and the agriculture sector (including to strengthening the sector’s economic performance, and identify ways for the longer-term provision of acknowledged data-based solutions under consideration of possible synergies with other initiatives.

EC - Towards networked Local Digital Twins in the EU
August 19, 2024 09:47Building on the Data Space for Smart Communities and the EU Local Digital Twin (LDT) Toolbox, both supported by the WP 2021-2022, and in synergy with the action “Developing CitiVerse” (see 2.3.2), the main objective of this action is to consolidate existing results and move towards an ecosystem of mature and networked LDTs across the EU to help cities and communities achieve economies of scale when developing their data platform and LDT services. EU cities and communities are evolving towards digital communities at a different pace and this topic is proposing three complementary activities to help them achieve economies of scale when adopting data, LDT and AI-based solutions. Previous WP supported the creation of an EU data space for smart communities (and its validation via pilots) and action 2.3.2 pioneers innovative services using ‘Citiverse’ technology. Under the WP 2021-22, the Commission has also launched procurement actions to support the development of a LDT toolbox in the EU. However, more effort is needed to create a pan-European ecosystem of digital twins that can connect and scale up towards a future “EU CitiVerse”. To achieve the approach is to support the development of open source LDT solutions based on common needs of EU cities and communities (both urban and rural), to connect them and to enrich them with additional innovative services. In order to address the different maturity level of cities and communities, this action will help (1) connect and further develop the already existing LDTs, (2) gain a critical mass of smart communities’ data sets, as well as (3) deploy, test, and add more complex AI-based elements to the LDT toolbox, addressing the needs of digitally advanced smart communities.
