EIT Urban Mobility invites innovators from across Europe to submit a proposal to its Strategic Innovation Open Call, designed to accelerate the deployment of impactful solutions that address the most pressing challenges in urban mobility.
The call focuses on supporting ambitious, market-critical projects that tackle clearly defined problems faced by cities, public authorities, and mobility providers. We aim to de-risk development and enable large-scale deployment by backing solutions with a clear path to market and the potential to scale across Europe.
Through this call, EIT Urban Mobility fosters innovation and strengthens Europe’s competitiveness by encouraging collaboration across the EIT Knowledge Triangle—education, research, and business—alongside a fourth essential partner: cities.
The Call will focus on five sectors in which we believe Europe has the potential to innovate and create impact:
- Urban logistics,
- Public transport,
- Mobility data management,
- Electrification of transport and alternative fuels, and
- Health and mobility.
This is a multi-beneficiary call for proposals and therefore there must be a minimum of two independent legal entities, working together. These entities must be established in two different European Member States, and/or Third countries associated with Horizon Europe.
The Strategic Innovation Open Call is open from 2026-2028 with several upcoming cut-off dates as outlined below.
Deadlines to apply: All submission windows close at 17.00 CET on the published cut-off date.
- 3rd cut-off date: 18 June 2026
