EIT Urban Mobility invites organisations and experts to submit proposals to its Urban Mobility Explained (UMX) Open Call, designed to accelerate the development and delivery of high-quality, sustainable professional training and support services that close the urban mobility knowledge gap.

This Call focuses on a series of specific activity areas aimed at enhancing the skills and capabilities of mobility professionals and organisations, particularly at the local/city level, to achieve systemic transformations for more liveable cities. The Call supports proposals that offer high-quality, impact-oriented, and financially sustainable learning experiences, leveraging EIT Urban Mobility’s network and expertise in various learning formats.

The total indicative EIT funding allocated to this Call is between approximately €2.00 – €4.00 million. The maximum EIT funding per proposal is €700.000.

In line with the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda 2021-2027 (SIA), starting from 2024, 75% of the funding provided by EIT for the development of the UMX’s education portfolio will be progressively mainstreamed to EIT-labelled courses and activities. All proposals submitted by the cut-off dates in 2025 must have a minimum co-funding rate of 25%. This may be revised in the following cut-off dates.

The minimum co-funding rate applies to the total project budget. In case of a consortium, each partner may have different co-funding rates, or even not have any co-funding, as long as the overall project cofunding meets the minimum required %.

This Call is open to all legal entities established in European Union (EU) Member States, and/or in third countries associated with Horizon Europe. These legal entities may be small and medium enterprises (SMEs), universities, research and technology organisations, cities or large businesses, among others.

This Call is open to multi-participant proposals and mono-participant proposals.

In the case of mono-participant proposals or multi-participant proposals involving exclusively entities from the same country, EIT Urban Mobility considers that:

• the pan-European dimension can be achieved by bringing participants from different countries onto the courses and exposing them to educational content that includes examples and case studies from different European countries. The instructors/ teaching staff are also expected to come from different European countries. In addition, a course in a specific city/region/country is internationalised/replicated in a different city/region/country. As such, these applicants are expected to deliver the first few sessions in a given market, and once the quality of the course has been demonstrated, it should be opened up to other markets, involving other players/partners, if needed.
• the knowledge triangle is integrated by involving the cities and industry partners, not only in identifying educational needs but also in designing and developing education courses in conjunction with academia. City and industry partners may also be recipients of education programmes.

If an application is selected for funding, then all applicants will be required to become a member of the community and pay the corresponding membership fee. Entities who are not yet EIT Urban Mobility members and who have been awarded proposals with a total EIT funding lower than €30.000  may request a membership fee reduction for their first year as a member

Detailed description of all packages and related benefits, as well as the registration and conditions for membership is outlined on the EIT Urban Mobility website.

All applicants may contact the Innovation team at EIT Urban Mobility at  innovationcall@eiturbanmobility.eu  to resolve any concerns or doubts about the call content and the call process.
