Deadline: 24 November 2023
EIT Climate-KIC is running a Sustainable Cities Mobility Challenge for European cities to identify bold and impactful projects which seek to decarbonise transport, improve local air quality and accelerate the take-up of active, shared, collective and/or electric mobility.
The call aims to support the transition to cleaner, greener, and more people-centred transport, in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, Urban Mobility Framework, New European Bauhaus, and the EU Cities Mission.
Funding Information
- Each city project selected will be granted up to 90,000 EUR (depending on the total number of proposals selected in the call). A maximum of five projects will be funded.
- Cities should aim to complete their projects by July 2025.
Who can apply?
- Cities and towns (with a population of at least 25,000) in the EU Member States, Horizon Europe Associated Countries (including the United Kingdom) and Switzerland are eligible to apply.
- Project proposals should be submitted by city councils, municipalities or local authorities (including municipality-owned organisations/companies). Applications should provide evidence of senior political support/municipal mandate).
- Projects will be selected based on the potential for impact, learning, and replicability in other towns and cities. They should seek to make a positive difference to people and the environment in the area where they are implemented, adding to the body of knowledge/experience to shift cities more rapidly towards more sustainable mobility systems.
- Examples of the types of projects that could be considered for support include (but are not limited to), the following:
- Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) or Low Emission Neighbourhoods (LENs)
- Walking, cycling and wheeling projects.
- Projects which support shared and collective mobility (public transport)
- Play streets, school streets and other projects which reallocate street space to social/cultural activity.
- Mobility hubs
- Sustainable transport of goods and services/logistics.
- Parklets and greening schemes which encourage active travel.
- Behaviour change projects (where these support on-street changes – standalone behaviour change initiatives will not be considered).
- Apps and journey planners which facilitate sustainable mobility.
- Data collection, analysis, monitoring and evaluation tools.
