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 cluster 5.
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 YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
