Under Horizon 2020 the EU Research Framework Programme, all projects require co-operation between a minimum of three countries.

The part called 'Mobility for Growth' is the CIVITAS Initiative, consisting of city-led demonstration projects, knowledge-generating projects and horizontal support projects.

The call for the city-led demo projects for 2017-20 was in 2015. The call for the horizontal support project for 2017-2020 was also in 2015.

For 2016 calls are open for knowledge-generating projects for:

• Facilitating public procurement
• New ways of supporting neighbourhood-level innovations

For 2017 calls will open in 2016 for knowledge-generating projects for:

• Increasing the take-up and scale-up of innovative solutions
• Supporting smart electric mobility
• Innovative approaches for integrating urban nodes

Cities should follow up the calls.
