Introduction

This informative session will introduce Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation programme, and highlight the most relevant Cluster 5 (Climate, Energy & Mobility) funding calls for public transport and sustainable mobility, with a special focus on calls closing in April 2026.

The session will also share practical tips to help strengthen your proposal, followed by a Q&A. It’s an opportunity to explore how EU funding can support and accelerate progress across the sector.

What Will You Learn?

  • A clear overview of Horizon Europe: how the programme is structured, who can apply, what types of projects are funded, and where to find the right information
  • A map of the most relevant open calls for the public transport and sustainable mobility sector, including what each call is looking for and how they align with UITP members’ priorities
  • Tips on building a strong consortium, drafting the proposal, and matching your idea to the call
  • Answers to your specific questions through a live Q&A

Who Should Attend?

Designed for both newcomers and experienced applicants, with a focus on city mobility teams and public transport operators and authorities (PTOs/PTAs) looking to navigate EU funding opportunities.
