EIT Urban Mobility is an innovation community focused on transforming urban mobility systems to make them more sustainable, efficient, and people-centric. It brings together a wide range of stakeholders, including businesses, cities, universities, research centers, and other organizations, to collaborate and drive innovation in urban mobility.
There are various possibilities within the EIT Urban Mobility:
The EIT publishes regularly calls for proposals for these different programmes. You can find out the opportunities and latest news at the EIT Urban Mobility webpage.
The headquarter of this innovation community is in Barcelona but there is a regional hub in Helmond which serves as a point of contact for interested parties from Flanders (west@eiturbanmobility.eu).
You can also attend or watch InnovEIT, the annual conference of the EIT where you can meet other members of the communities and EIT experts.
Lastly, for mobility-related inquiries you can contact the National Contact Point (NCP) for mobility: alfons.vanbesien@vlaio.be
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
