European Commission has archived this opportunity.
Funder: European Commission
Due Dates: October 8, 2026
Funding Amounts: €10 million total; typical grant €5 million; 2 projects expected to be funded; project duration and budget defined in proposal (lump sum model)
Summary: Supports AI-driven digital solutions to enhance resilience in multimodal passenger transport systems across diverse EU regions.
Key Information: Single-stage call; lump sum funding; requires pilots in at least three EU Member States and three transport modes.
This Horizon Europe Innovation Action funds research and innovation projects that develop and implement digital and AI-based solutions to enhance the resilience of multimodal passenger transport systems. The aim is to enable urban, sub-urban, and long-distance transport networks to anticipate, absorb, and recover from disruptions more effectively—using technologies such as generative and discriminative AI, big data analytics, and digital twins. Projects must include real-life validation in multimodal corridors, involving at least three transport modes and pilots in at least three different EU Member States, reflecting diverse operational and geographic contexts. Collaboration with transport authorities and operators is required, and solutions must ensure unbiased, secure, and objective data use, with a strong focus on user-friendliness, safety, and security.
