Horizon Mobility: CIVITAS Network

Funds the €4M coordination project that runs CIVITAS, the EU's network helping cities share and scale mobility innovation.

OpenEuropean CommissionEU

European cities are being asked to cut emissions, ease congestion, and move people and goods more efficiently, often without the money or connections to work out what actually helps. Dozens of EU-funded and national urban mobility projects produce real, tested results every year, but those lessons rarely reach the cities that need them, and city officials have few ways to compare notes with each o

Running CIVITAS, the EU's coordination and support platform for urban mobility: a replication and capacity-building programme so cities can copy each other's solutions, a shared evaluation framework for CIVITAS-family projects, and the CIVITAS website as the sector's knowledge hub. It also covers the community infrastructure behind CIVITAS — the Educational and Youth network, the national CIVINETS networks, clustering related research projects and coordinating their living-lab activities, the yearly CIVITAS Forum, the Urban Mobility Days, and a Politicians Exchange Forum run under the Commission's own guidance. Both passenger and freight mobility are in scope, for cities across the EU and Associated Countries.
