Digital 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.

The AI4Culture project, funded under Digital Europe call Data space for cultural heritage (deployment) aims to develop an online capacity building hub for AI technologies in the cultural heritage sector. This hub contributes to the creation of the European common cultural heritage data space, which provides support to the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector and fosters the creation and reuse of content in cultural and creative sectors. The Flemish company CrossLang is one of the 12 partners in the project and brings in its year-long expertise in the development of multilingual technology to the transcription and translation of scanned printed and handwritten documents.
