On May 7th, 2024, a new call for proposals under the Horizon Europe framework will be open for applications. Projects have to focus on the topic of studying policies and governance practices for future mobility systems.

The call falls under the "Safe, Resilient Transport and Smart Mobility services for passengers and goods" Destination, which contributes to the development of user-centric mobility technologies for smart, inclusive, and resilient transportation systems.

Effective governance, policies, and incentives are pivotal in shaping sustainable and just transportation systems. Policies should address aspects such as gender, location, and the impact on low-income households. Additionally, the COVID-19 crisis has triggered a notable shift in commuting habits, emphasizing remote work and flexible arrangements.

The broader consequences of these changes, particularly on greenhouse gas emissions and the real estate market, present an opportunity for significant positive environmental outcomes. Applicants should take into consideration these aspects when submitting their proposals.

Areas of action

Applications should address and take the following actions:

  • Analyze politicians' influence on sustainable/non-sustainable transport policies, focusing on enhancing accessibility in peripheral areas. Explore synergies with EU governance reforms (e.g., Trans-European Transport Network) to phase out private car ownership.
