Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
New and shared mobility services have shown that they have the potential to meet urban dweller’s needs while at the same time bring about a more rational use of cars. Therefore, high-quality, user centric, and reliable new mobility solutions need to be offered as a credible alternative to the private car, coupled with safe and integrated infrastructure.
New solutions should be explored and deployed for newly designed or existing transport infrastructure to accommodate new and shared mobility services. Mobility services that could be considered are, for example: micro mobility, including bike/scoter sharing, demand responsive transport, car-pooling or car sharing.
New and shared mobility services should be proposed in at least 3 living labs/project in integrated, complementary and reinforcing packages of urban mobility and planning measures and new technological solutions, combining “push’’ and “pull” measures.
The new services should also be tested beyond the commercially interesting urban cores, providing low and zero emission solutions for car-dependent suburban, peri-urban and rural areas linked to specific needs of diverse target groups such as populations with no access to public transport or affluent communities dependent on the private car.
Projects should test new and shared mobility services in mobility management (such as for companies, schools, attractions). Innovative approaches that respond to the needs of a large variety of users (such as families with children, people living in remote locations, commuters, housing developers) are expected.
