## 1. Horizon 2020: The 2018-2020 Work Programme

Horizon 2020 is the EU's Funding Framework for Research and Innovation. It is part of the EU's drive to create growth and new jobs in Europe. It covers many policy fields addressing major concerns shared by all Europeans such as climate change, developing sustainable transport and mobility, making renewable energy more affordable and coping with the challenge of an ageing population. Calls for proposals are published every two years and are based on 3 overarching priorities: excellent science, industrial leadership and societal challenges. Part of societal challenges, the transport challenge has been allocated a budget of €6,339 million for the period of 2014-2020. The programme aims to boost the competiveness of the European transport industries and achieve a European transport system that is resource-efficient, climate-andenvironmentally friendly, safe and seamless for the benefit of all citizens, the economy and society.  Activities are addressed in the 2018-2020 Work Programme by three calls for proposals:  

- 
Mobility for Growth 
- 
Digitising and Transforming European Industry and Services: Automated Road Transport and Building a Low-Carbon 
- 
Climate Resilient Future: Green Vehicles

Financing rate 
Aim 
With an increased level of automation, the road mobility environment is evolving quickly. Vulnerable road users may in the future also refer to nonconnected ones, as well as passengers of automated vehicles. New systems are thus needed to improve global safety. 
Scope 
- 
Define updated road safety characteristics and properties  
- 
Address "automotive digital divides" (vulnerable users) 
- 
Build various scenarios (severe weather conditions, poor road conditions, etc.)  and update ways to assess accident risks   
- 
Reduce road traffic casualties by at least 10% (compared with 2016 figures) 

## One Or More Additional Requirements:

- 
Develop tools and models which simulate how traffic scenarios will change with the introduction of new vehicles and technologies 
- 
Design protection systems for future collision scenarios 
- 
Develop infrastructure and on-vehicle safety solutions as well as education and training schemes to increase global awareness 
Expected impact 
- 
10% reduction in injuries and fatalities in road accidents 
- 
Contribution to EU's Transport White Paper goals and UN's SDG 
- 
Creation of innovative protection systems for passengers of automated vehicles 
- 
Contribution to industry competitiveness 
- 
Creation of harmonised methods for the assessment of safety solutions based on current and future mobility scenarios

## Supporting Joint Actions On Sustainable Urban Accessibility And Connectivity Call For Proposal Mobility For Growth

Focus area 
Accounting for the people 
Reference 
MG-4-6-2019 
Bidding timescale 
Opening: 04 December 2018 Deadline: 25 April 2019 
 
Type of action 
ERA-NET-Cofund 
Financing rate 
33% max. 
Expected budget 
€4-5 million 
Aim 
Despite the high transport network densities in urban areas, there are still accessibility and connectivity challenges, sometimes specifically for various socio-economic groups. The aim of this Cofund is to address the potential impact and possibilities for deployment of new mobility services and initiatives by analysing behavioural responses and estimating effects on the various aspects of sustainability. 
One or more requirements: 
Scope 
 
- 
Understand the main reasons and drivers behind mobility behaviours 
- 
Identify potential solutions to increase accessibility and connectivity for disadvantaged groups  
- 
Identify potential variables supporting a shift towards more sustainable modes and alternatives for personal mobility 
- 
Look at the possible contribution of improving accessibility and connectivity to socio-economic development in dense urban areas  
- 
Assess the most effective strategies for improving connectivity, intermodality and systems integration  
| -                                     | Assess how innovative mobility concepts and services developments could benefit or affect specific groups in urban areas    |

## 5. Additional Information On Horizon 2020 Funding

Funding and co-financing Each call has an approximate budget foreseen by the EC (section 5.0) which ranges from €1 million to €15 million. Horizon 2020 offers a funding rate of 100% on all costs for Research and Innovation projects and Coordination and Support projects or 70% for Innovation projects. In both cases an additional flat rate of 25% is added to cover overheads. This means that partners in some cases will not have to contribute match funding. You can find the full funding guide here. 

 
Types of actions  

1. Research and Innovation Actions: EU funding rate: 100% of costs, with additional 25% applied to cover partner overheads 
Projects should focus on establishing new knowledge or explore the feasibility of a new/ improved technology, product, process, service or solution. For this purpose they may include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale demonstrations or pilot activities aiming to show technical feasibility.  
These projects are about developing new approaches to common challenges in different cities, and testing them. Academic institutions might lead on the research and innovation, whereas Boroughs/ TfL would be given demonstration roles to do the piloting. 

2. Innovation Actions: EU funding rate: 70% of costs, with additional 25% applied to cover partner overheads 
Projects should focus on producing plans, arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. For this purpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication.  
Innovation actions are a lot more "hands on" with less emphasis on research and more on developing, delivery, testing and piloting innovative policies, approaches, and technologies in the field of sustainable urban mobility. 

3. Coordination and Support Actions: EU funding rate: 100% of costs, with additional 25% applied to cover partner overheads  
Actions consisting primarily of accompanying measures such as standardisation, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication, networking, coordination or support services, policy dialogues and mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new infrastructure and may also include complementary activities of networking and coordination between programmes in different countries. 

This type of action is primarily designed to share information and develop policy and infrastructure design.  
Whilst pure research is not normally a priority for Boroughs, the demonstration and pilot component actions will be of interest, as will the results and testing of the research.
