ProgrammesDigital Europe project European data space for smart communities (DS4SSCC) will open its forth round of calls for pilots on 1 April 2026.
The European data space for smart communities (DS4SSCC-DEP) action has previously launched 11 pilots projects over three rounds of Calls for Pilots (CfP) to validate an EU-wide cross-sectorial data space in practice and to advance its development and implementation to support policy priorities of cities and communities within the European Union, including the green-digital transformation based on secure and sovereign data infrastructure. This fourth and last call will seek to onboard approximately 10 additional pilots, validating even further the vision for a European data space for smart communities.
The pilots are set to build on and evolve the governance and technical blueprint established by the preparatory action for the European data space for smart communities, and evolved during the deployment action.
Deadline for application is 31 May 2026.
More information on the call, the participation requirements and the application process can be found on the EU's Funding & Tenders Portal and on the DS4SSCC project website.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
