Programmes Enhancing EU R&I Horizon Europe

The Communication ‘Implementation of the European Research Area (ERA): Strengthening Europe’s Research and Innovation: The ERA’s Journey and Future Directions’ has been adopted on 22 October by the Commission.

The Communication takes stock and assesses the progress made since the previous Communication ‘A new ERA for Research and Innovation‘ (2020) in which the four key objectives are laid out:  

  • Prioritising investments and reforms
  • Improving access to excellence
  • Translating R&I results into the economy
  • Deepening the ERA

and identifies remaining challenges which set the direction for future activities.

More information can be found in the European Commission press release, including a factsheet on the Communication and the videos ‘The #EUResearchArea over time: 2000 until today’ and ‘ERA testimonials’.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
