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.

EITHOS - European Identity Theft Observatory System

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
