Status January 2016Final Update on Joint Call

Content• General Comment• Consortium and Call Process• Budget and Successful Proposals• Results per Call Topic• Summary and Outlook

General Comment• Implementation in the field of Smart Cities comes in many forms of

projects• Projects in implementation typically need a preparation time of 5

years, or more, in order to secure the necessary planning and finance• Any transnational cooperation involving implementation in Smart

Cities can only take advantage of use cases, which alread had successfully gone through years of planning and preparation

• Therefore a transnational call can only skim the surface of available use cases and there is a limit to the innovation which can be achieved through only one joint call

• Another important pre-requisite for the success of a joint call is a well-functioning network of RTI funding institutions, which usuall needs several rounds of successful joint calls in a given network.

Consortium and Call Process

ERA-NET Smart Cities and Communities

JPI - URBAN EUROPEThe aim of the JPI Urban Europe is to foster research, development, and implementation of attractive, sustainable and economically viable urban areas, in which European citizens, communities and their surroundings can thrive.

The research funded by the JPI Urban Europe focuses on how to:• Transform urban areas into centres of innovation and technology• Ensure social cohesion and integration• Reduce the ecological footprint and enhance climate neutrality• Take advantage of technological solutions and realize efficient and

sustainable urban systems and networks (mobility, energy, water, ICT, etc.)

Smart Cities Member States InitiativeThe Smart Cities MSI was created in order to support the creation and implemen-tation of the SET-Plan Industrial Initiative on Smart Cities and Communities.

The goals of the Smart Cities MSI are:

• To create policy and RDI funding support towards the development of Smart Cities on the level of the participating countries

• To move forward in our understanding of urban development and of the role which RDI funding can play in making Smart Cities sustainable, and a better place to live and work

• To work as a vehicle for partnership with the European Commission in the context of the SET-Plan and of the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities

Comparing the ENSCC Joint Call with the H2020 SCC1 Lighthouse Projects Call

• ENSCC asks for an integration of different technologies and a human-centred approach.

• ENSCC targets smaller scale projects addressing smaller cities and small scale testing

• ENSCC enables a preparation phase for smaller cities so that they can proceed to become lighthouse projects

• ENSCC invites projects with specific ambition for implementation, but invites the combination with research activities

JPI Urban Europe provides a long-term programme management structure• Access to JPI Urban Europe and

a network of: – Researchers– Practitioners– Stakeholders– Experts in urban

development– etc.

• Programme activities:– A central programme management– Annual RTI joint calls– Alignment of national RTI

programmes– Alignment of research

infrastructure (RTOs)– Strategic dialogue and

international outreach– Dissemination of results – Urban living labs, observatories

and databases
