EIT Urban Mobility is an innovation community focused on transforming urban mobility systems to make them more sustainable, efficient, and people-centric. It brings together a wide range of stakeholders, including businesses, cities, universities, research centers, and other organizations, to collaborate and drive innovation in urban mobility.
There are various possibilities within the EIT Urban Mobility:
The EIT publishes regularly calls for proposals for these different programmes. You can find out the opportunities and latest news at the EIT Urban Mobility webpage.
The headquarter of this innovation community is in Barcelona but there is a regional hub in Helmond which serves as a point of contact for interested parties from Flanders (west@eiturbanmobility.eu).
Lastly, for mobility-related inquiries you can contact the National Contact Point (NCP) for cluster 5.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
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.
