The Fourth Targeted Project Call is launching on 14 August 2024! Register below to attend our information webinars and learn more about the call and the topics.
FOURTH TARGETED PROJECT CALL
The Fourth Targeted Project Call falls under Innovation’s Targeted Projects Programme. This programme was initiated to address:
a) gaps in our innovation portfolio concerning the business plan, strategic agenda, and
b) external changes and influences such as technological developments, policies/regulations, and (urgent) events.
CALL TOPICS
The Fourth Targeted Project Call addresses four topics. Each of them will be a standalone project and as such each topic should be applied to separately.
1. Promoting a competitive and sustainable European Cycling Industry
This topic covers solutions related to e-bike compliance with the new EU battery regulations, new business models and services for the cycling industry and sustainable (e-)bike manufacturing innovations that promote onshoring.
2. The uptake of hydrogen refueling stations for sustainable urban transport
This topic covers easy-to-deploy and/or transportable hydrogen refueling solutions that comply with a majority of EU countries’ safety regulation requirements and go beyond the current status of art for such stations.
3. Mitigating non-exhaust pollution in urban spaces
This topic covers solutions for the reduction of non-exhaust emissions (NEE) at source, NEE filtration near the source, NEE removal from the environment, and advanced non-exhaust particulate matter (PM) emissions monitoring.
4. Ensuring zero vision and safety for vulnerable urban road users
This topic covers ITS solutions that reduce the number of fatalities and severe injuries on urban roads by preventing collisions, with a primary focus on vulnerable road users.
