Programmes Enhancing EU R&IThe European Citizen Science Association (ECSA) and the European Citizen Science (ECS) project have published a position paper in March 2025 on “Citizen science for the future of Europe - Advocating for deeper integration and dedicated support for citizen science in the 10th Framework Programme for Research and Innovation”.
This position paper sets out the added value of citizen science with reference to an extensive list of examples of citizen science investment in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, and outlines 10 opportunities for FP10 to unlock the potential of citizen science through strategic support. The paper concludes with 5 key recommendations for sustained investment in citizen science, and 10 further support areas.
The full position paper, an executive summary (PDF) and the possibility to add an endorsement as individual and/or organization are available on the dedicated website.

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.
