Thematic areas of this new Call for Proposals 2020
EIT Urban Mobility seeks to attract proposals in the following thematic areas:
- Citizen Engagement
- Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS)
Each thematic area is described in detail in the Call for Proposals 2020 document in chapter IV Overview of CfPs for the Business Plan 2020. The chapter provides information on the overall purpose of the specific thematic area, the setup/structure of the area, general criteria for the Call including eligibility and funding specifications, the general evaluation criteria and the specific focus of this year’s Call where applicable.
An overview of the type of activity for proposals expected for 2020 is provided below:
Citizen Engagement
There is already a lot of experience and knowledge among EIT Urban Mobility partners with regard to public engagement (involvement of citizens and end-users). To ensure real impact is achieved through the citizen engagement activities of EIT Urban Mobility, all these activities need to be aligned with the Strategic Agenda and contribute to the EIT Urban Mobility strategic objectives. A citizen engagement strategy can help to drive the citizen engagement activities towards the right direction. The knowledge and experiences on citizen engagement among EIT Urban Mobility partners serve as a basis for the citizen engagement strategy to be developed.
In 2020 the focus will be placed on:
- Collection of best practices of citizen engagement experiences within the EIT Urban Mobility’s partnership
- Development of a citizen engagement strategy, that will provide guidance on how to implement citizen engagement activities and which will set the basis for related activities in the years that follow
- Creation of a citizen engagement platform, which can serve for learning, exchange of knowledge and collection of best practices
The complete Call text for 2020 on Citizen Engagement can be found in the Call for Proposals 2020 document on pages 14-18.
