Funds projects developing inclusive, climate-resilient multimodal passenger hubs to enhance modal shift toward sustainable and shared mobility in cities and regions.

--- ## Description This opportunity, under Horizon Europe, supports projects aimed at making multimodal passenger hubs more climate-resilient, inclusive, and efficient. The focus is on cities, peri-urban, and rural areas, encouraging innovative solutions that increase the use of sustainable, active, shared, and micromobility modes for accessing and transferring at hubs. Projects should address climate vulnerabilities, propose nature-based and digital solutions, and ensure accessibility for marginalized groups. Activities must align with New European Bauhaus principles (sustainability, aesthetics, inclusion), be integrated within Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, and involve collaboration with the Cities Mission Platform and CIVITAS initiative. Social sciences and humanities expertise is required to maximize societal impact and stakeholder engagement. --- ## Due Dates - October 7, 2027: Full application submission deadline (by 17:00 Brussels time) --- ## Funding Amount - Total call budget: €18,000,000 for this topic (HORIZON-MISS-2027-04-CIT-03) - Expected number of grants: 2 - Typical grant size: ~€9,000,000 (lump sum) - Type of action: Horizon Innovation Actions (HORIZON-IA) - Single-stage application --- ## Eligibility - At least three cities (represented by a local authority or an entity with explicit consent), each from a different EU Member State or Associated Country, must participate as beneficiaries. - At least one city must be among the 112 selected for the EU Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities, and one must be an urban node on the TEN-T network. - Proposals must be implemented within a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) or equivalent. - Collaboration with the Cities Mission Platform (via the CIVITAS initiative) is mandatory. - Social sciences and humanities (SSH) expertise and participation are required. - Eligible countries are described in Annex B of the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes; some non-EU/non-Associated Countries may also be eligible. --- ## Application Process - Proposals must be submitted electronically via the [EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-MISS-2027-04-CIT-03?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=3&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate). - Single-stage application process. - Proposal guidelines, templates, and evaluation criteria are detailed in the [General Annexes](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2026-2027/wp-15-general-annexes_horizon-2026-2027_en.pdf). - Collaboration with the Cities Mission Platform must be formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding or collaboration agreement after project start. - Applications must include a detailed work plan, budget (lump sum), and evidence of SSH involvement. --- ## Additional Information - At least three demonstrator sites per project are required. - Proposals must address climate adaptation, digital and nature-based solutions, and inclusivity. - Proposals should promote best practices for integrating walking, cycling, shared mobility, and micromobility at and around hubs. - Projects should plan for active collaboration with other selected projects under this topic for dissemination, evaluation, and coordination. --- ## External Links - [Call Details & Application Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-MISS-2027-04-CIT-03?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=3&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - [General Annexes & Guidance](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2026-2027/wp-15-general-annexes_horizon-2026-2027_en.pdf) - [Horizon Europe Programme Guide](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/guidance/programme-guide_horizon_en.pdf) - [CIVITAS Initiative](https://civitas.eu/) - [TEN-T Regulation Reference](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32024R1679) --- ## Contact Information | Type | Details | |---------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | General Enquiries | [Contact the European Commission](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/contact_en) | | Research Enquiry Service | [Research Enquiry Service](https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/contact-us/research-enquiry-service_en) | | National Contact Points | [Find NCPs](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/ncp) | | IT Helpdesk | [Portal IT Helpdesk](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/helpdesks/contact-form) | ---
