Second round of cascading calls: smart cities and communities
Digital Europe project DS4SSCC-DEP (Data Space for Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities) has opened its second round of cascade funding calls:
There are three rounds of open calls occurring every three months:
- 1st submission round (closed): 1 June 2024 – 31 August 2024 (1-2 pilots selected with a maximum duration of 18 months each)
- 2nd submission round: 1 September 2024 - 30 November (expected 4-6 pilots selected with a maximum duration of 18 months each)
- 3rd submission round: estimated to open in December 2024 (expected 4 or more selected pilots* with a maximum duration of 16 months each)
The aim of these Calls for Pilots is 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.
The pilot call is specifically designed for local public administrations in the EU and Digital Europe Programme (DEP) Associated countries and partners working with them (e.g., companies, civil society organisations, academia). The consortia must be capable of executing a cross-sectorial and cross-border pilot activity, and co-finance at least 50% of the pilot activity.
All relevant information on the background, objectives and scope of this call, as well as the conditions of participation, the available budget and the application templates can be found on the dedicated website of this call.
