Description
of programme "Digital Europe" | The general objectives of the Digital Europe Programme shall be to support and accelerate the digital transformation of the European economy, industry and society, to bring its benefits to citizens, public administrations and businesses across the Union, and to improve the competitiveness of Europe in the global digital economy while contributing to bridging the digital divide across the Union and reinforcing the Union’s strategic autonomy, through holistic, cross-sectoral and cross-border support and a stronger Union contribution. The Programme shall be implemented in close coordination with other Union programmes as applicable, and shall aim:
It will reinforce EU critical digital capacities by focusing on the key areas of artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, advanced computing, data infrastructure, governance and processing, the deployment of these technologies and their best use for critical sectors like energy, climate change and environment, manufacturing, agriculture and health. Thus, the Programme shall have five interrelated specific objectives:
The Digital Europe Programme is strategic in supporting the digital transformation of the EU industrial ecosystems targeting upskilling to provide a workforce for these advanced digital technologies. It supports industry, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and public administration in their digital transformation with a reinforced network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH). The Programme will accelerate the economic recovery and drive the digital transformation of Europe. Specific Objective 1- High Performance Computing The financial contribution from the Union under Specific Objective 1 – High Performance Computing shall pursue the following operational objectives:
Specific Objective 2 – Artificial Intelligence The financial contribution from the Union under Specific Objective 2 – Artificial Intelligence shall pursue the following operational objectives:
Specific Objective 3 – Cybersecurity and Trust The financial contribution from the Union under Specific Objective 3 – Cybersecurity and Trust shall pursue the following operational objectives:
Specific Objective 4 – Advanced Digital Skills The financial contribution from the Union under Specific Objective 4 – Advanced Digital Skills shall support the development of advanced digital skills in areas covered by the Programme in order to contribute to increasing Europe’s talent pool, bridge the digital divide and foster greater professionalism, especially with regard to high performance and cloud computing, big data analytics, cybersecurity, distributed ledger technologies (e.g. blockchain), quantum technologies, robotics, AI, while taking gender balance into account. In order to tackle skills mismatches and to encourage specialisation in digital technologies and applications, the financial contribution shall pursue the following operational objectives:
Specific Objective 5 – Deployment and Best Use of Digital Capacities and Interoperability The financial contribution from the Union under Specific Objective 5 – Deployment and Best Use of Digital Capacities and Interoperability shall pursue the following operational objectives while bridging the digital divide:

Description of call "Digital Solutions in support of the New European Bauhaus Initiative" | Objective: The New European Bauhaus (NEB) aims at fostering transdisciplinary, multi-level (from local to global) and participatory initiatives, anchored in the three core values outlined in the NEB Communication:from climate goals to circularity and biodiversity; aesthetics, quality of experience and style, beyond functionality; and inclusion, including accessibility and affordability. Digital technologies such as very high-speed internet connectivity - Wifi, 5G/6G connectivity, Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing, blockchain, IoT, cloud services and big data can play a role in improving sustainability and user-friendliness of services in our cities, making neighbourhoods and buildings greener, healthier and more inclusive places to live, move and work in. Digital tools and technologies offer an unprecedented opportunity for policy-makers to engage with citizens to shape and co-create their living environment. Data dashboards, virtual and augmented reality, and Local Digital Twins allow citizens to visualise impacts of policies and decisions in their locality, and therefore to shape their outcome, in order to better reflect their needs and expectations in the built environment. Digital technologies have thus an important role to play at all steps of the life cycle of NEB initiatives i.e. preparation, design, development, implementation and maintenance. This action aims to bring together people working in the fields of urban planning, architecture and design, the cultural sector, artists, civil society, technology providers, businesses (including SMEs and startups), smart cities stakeholders, and academia, in order to identify digital solutions that could contribute to the implementation of the New European Bauhaus objectives, and to promote awareness and use of these digital solutions. This will be the case in particular for digital tools developed through EU-funded Programmes that can contribute to improving sustainability and circularity and for participative and sustainable urban development, to co-create a greener, smarter and sustainable living environment, whether in cities, towns, villages or rural areas. Working in particular with the NEB Lab, the action should establish links with actions falling under data spaces, European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH), the AI Testing and Experimentation Facilities (TEFs), notably for smart communities and health, and the Living-in.EU movement, as well as those Horizon Europe missions that work with communities and cities as key implementing partners (e.g. Mission on Climate Neutral and Smart Cities and Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change), which would provide significant opportunities to test, experiment and up-scale the use of digital tools for the NEB with local partners. Finally, the project will seek to accelerate the deployment of digital tools contributing to implementing the New European Bauhaus objectives. Scope:
Only one project proposal will be selected for this grant. Expected Outcome:
