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 MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
