The European Commission has announced applications for the Scalable Cities Action Grant to support the replication of Smart Cities and Communities measures implemented through Smart Cities and Communities (SCC) projects. The European Commission has set a clear objective for SCC projects to deploy large-scale, innovative, replicable and integrated solutions in the areas of energy, transport, sustainability, inclusion, citizens and ICT.

Scalable Cities represents 18 Smart Cities and Communities projects funded by Horizon 2020 (H2020), two Horizon Europe projects and their 124 cities that are piloting innovative approaches and solutions to create more inclusive, resilient and smart cities. Scalable Cities aims to accelerate and intensify collaboration between SCC projects and supports the replication of best practices and innovative technologies and services.

The Scalable Cities Action Grant financially supports cities and ad-hoc partnerships that seek to replicate measures that have been successfully implemented through Horizon 2020 SCC projects. (More on fundsforngos.org)
