EIT - KIC Urban Mobility
Project
the European Union has established a specific funding program called KIC Urban Mobility (Knowledge and Innovation Communities); with the specific objective of pursuing and guaranteeing more ecological, inclusive, safe and smart urban mobility. Participation in the program must take place through consortia admitted to submit proposals which must be made up of approximately 50 partners at European level, with precise distributions between cities, small and medium-sized enterprises, start-up industries, research centres/universities and NGOs. To address these challenges, the MOBiLus consortium was created, a knowledge and innovation community providing mobility, business dynamism and social innovation solutions to meet 21st century challenges and opportunities in Europe and around the world.
