    Young Social Enterprises with Young Entrepreneurs (YoSE) project is a research based project which aims to contribute development of new social enterprises and increasing institutional and financial capacity of existing social enterprises by analyzing the needs and raising awareness among different institutions at different levels. In this context, 8 intellectual outputs were created with training needs analysis of target group and non formal methodology integrated to them to compansate the needs. Outputs were tested 1 pilot training. Intellectual outputs aims young people between age of 18-30 who would like to become social entrepreneurs and enhance their capacity on social entrepreneurship. Project is also designed to create a training of trainers. A manuel has been created for the trainers. As an intellectual output, a digital platform and interactive disc for social entrepreneurship was created to provide e-learning and blended learning opportunities. It is enable access to trainings with Open Educational Resources to anyone who would like to benefit from outputs. Intellectual outputs created in project were disseminated with multiplier event which will be held in Turkey by Okan University and other dissemination activities envisaged in the dissemination plan.Project raises awareness on social entrepreneurship while increasing capacity of learners, trainers, related stakeholders and consortium members. By analyzing needs of young people on social entrepreneurship, a tailor made training will compansate the lack of skills of trainees, increase management skills of young people who in social enterprises and support existing social enterprises to benefit from external fund mechanisms to enhance their financial capacity.

    Mobility is changing. Urbanization, climate change and digitalisation challenge how people and goods move from A to B. To cope with these challenges and to meet global climate targets, urban and inter-urban areas need to become well-connected multimodal and multi-usage nodes for smart and clean mobility. Despite the success of early pilot projects, there is still a gap when it comes to transferring innovations to different contexts, cities or regions. One the one hand, living labs, testbeds, demonstration pilots do not always reflect urban reality as they were designed specifically for testing purposes. On the other hand, these solutions were implemented based on the requirements and needs of one particular city, district or area. City planners and project developers, therefore, face the question how the results of mobility pilot projects can be used in order to implement smart city strategies and community initiatives more efficiently, faster and on a larger geographic scale? RECIPROCITY will provide answers. The project’s goal is to initiate and support replication projects in at least 20 cities and municipalities varying in size, location, degree of urbanization and mobility demand. They will be equipped with the tools, knowledge and contacts to accelerate the process of replicating innovative mobility solutions. The consortium will organize coordination and support actions along the process from idea to implementation to nurture replication. Using a four-staged replication framework, the project will help cities and municipalities to: • IDENTIFY the right innovative mobility solutions together with all relevant mobility stakeholders and citizens; • LEARN about requirements, processes and skills needed to put these innovative mobility solutions into action; • ACCELERATE the implementation of these solutions through guidance and matchmaking for business and finance; • SHARE and build upon lessons learned and best practices to enable fast replication on a wid

    The impact of road traffic on local air quality is a major policy concern and there have been numerous projects aiming at improving underlying vehicle and fuel technologies, traffic management and enforcement. MODALES will contribute to a substantial reduction in air pollution from all types of motorised road vehicles by encouraging the adoption of low-emission oriented driving behaviour and maintenance choice, improving the effectiveness of OBD devices and retrofits. The main goal of MODALES is to advance the fundamental understanding of the co-variability of user behaviour and vehicular emissions from powertrain, brakes and tyres, and modify user behaviour via dedicated training, including a driver assistance app and awareness campaigns, in order to support effective air quality plans and enforcement strategies to be developed by local and national authorities. MODALES proposes a user-centric approach to addressing all of the challenges which on the one hand enhance low-emission practices and on the other hand suppress high-emission behaviour by researching, developing and testing a number of innovative and complementary solutions in four key areas (namely, Driver, Retrofits, EOBD and Inspection) in order to substantially reduce vehicle emissions from 3 main sources (i.e. powertrain, brake wear and tyre wear). The results will be used as evidence with adequate quality to guide the derivation of effective driving practices and training courses for different user groups. MODALES echoes the EC ambition to open up global markets in transport services, through the creation of a worldwide platform for sharing and exchanging innovative solutions, experience and best practices for low-emission practices.

    IN2CCAM consortium, according to the vision of Horizon Europe framework programme from 2021-2027 that aims to accelerate the implementation of innovative CCAM technologies and systems for passengers and goods, intends develop, implement and demonstrate innovative services for connected and automated vehicles, infrastructures and users. The goal is providing benefits to all citizens by implementing a full integration of CCAM services in the transport system. The main expected positive impacts for society are: i) safety (i.e., reducing the number of road accidents caused by human error; ii) environment (i.e., reducing transport emissions and congestion by smoothening traffic flow and avoiding unnecessary trips); iii) inclusiveness (i.e., ensuring inclusive mobility and good access for all). To this aim the approach is based on the implementation and integration of enhanced Physical, Digital and Operational Infrastructures to enrich CCAM services and increase safety and traffic efficiency. A set of physical, digital and operational solutions will be proposed and implemented in 4 Lead Living Labs (LLs): Tampere (Finland), Trikala (Greece), Turin (Italy) and Vigo (Spain). Moreover, two Follower LLs will collaborate in the design phase by providing ideas and data assessed by simulation test and validation: Bari (Italy) and Quadrilatero (Portugal).
