ProgrammesThe European Commission has published a new call: MCP on Innovative and Connected Public Administrations (DIGITAL-2026-BESTUSE-MCP-09-INNOV-ADMIN).
The Multi-Country-Project (MCP) funded under this call is supposed to bring together Member States and countries associated to the Digital Europe Programme, to jointly identify needs, deploy and develop interoperability solutions for cross-border digital public services. The overarching objective is to support activities for the implementation of the Interoperable Europe Act.
The call will open on 20 January 2026, deadline to submit proposals is 19 May 2026.
Detailed information on the call can be found in the call document.
Background:
MCPs are and new instrument: large-scale deployment and capacity-building projects fostering the digital transformation of the Union. These projects promote coordinated investments among the EU, Member States and private stakeholders enabling digital infrastructure projects that a Member State alone could not deploy on its own. They reinforce the Union’s technology excellence and industrial competitiveness in critical technologies, support an interconnected, interoperable and secure Digital Single Market and address strategic vulnerabilities and dependencies of the Union along the digital supply chain.

It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
