The ERA-NET Cofund Urban Accessibility and Connectivity (ENUAC) call for proposals, planned to open in December/January, invites researchers, cities, municipalities, businesses, civil society and other stakeholders to build transnational consortia to create challenge-driven innovation and research projects that address the challenges of sustainable urban passenger mobility, freight, transport and connectivity as integral and essential parts of sustainable urban development.
The event
JPI Urban Europe and the Embassy of Sweden in Washington are pleased to invite you to a transnational matchmaking event where you will have the opportunity to learn more about the call, get acquainted with fellow resarchers and stakeholders and explore the possibilities for developing a joint proposal to be submitted in this call. The event takes place in connection to the annual Transport Research Board (TRB) Meeting, 12-16 January 2020 in Washington. A forum attracting more than 13 000 professionals from around the world with sessions of interest to policy makers, practitioners, researchers, representatives of gorvernment, industry and academic institutions.
The call
The ERA-NET Cofund Urban Accessibility and Connectivity (ENUAC), planned to open in December 2019, aims at creating and testing new solutions and approaches for sustainable urban mobility. With this shared ambition, 16 countries are pooling resources to implement a series of calls for research and innovation projects as well as accompanying measures to create highest impact. The joint calls and actions will focus on measures to improve urban accessibility and connectivity for all groups of society while moving towards more sustainable urban mobility systems.
Projects within this call are expected to be co-creative and have strong stakeholder participation already from the start. The research should be based on actual urban challenges and the results should leadto new approaches, tools, instruments, insights and knowledge that will bring stakeholders closer to sustainable urban accessibility and connectivity. The project results are expected to make a clear contribution to the realisation of relevant urban, regional, national and European transport policy objectives that can help cities, urban residents, communities, businesses and institutions make
the most use of new developments in urban mobility
