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.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
