EIT Urban Mobility

EIT Urban Mobility is a Knowledge Innovation Community (KIC) launched by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) with the aim of being the largest European initiative to transform urban mobility.

The central objective of EIT Urban Mobility is to accelerate the transfer of innovation in mobility to cities, in order to improve their sustainability and quality of life, with EIT co-financing of €400 M for a first period of 6 years (2020-2026).

The University of Lisbon's participation in this initiative, as a core-partner, opens up a number of opportunities in the field of research and also education, through access to co-funding for these activities and the extension of ULisboa's actions through a solid network of excellence of Companies, Public Entities, Universities, Research Centers, Technology Companies and other stakeholders in the area of urban mobility.
