EIT Urban Mobility is a Knowledge Innovation Community (KIC) launched by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) [1] with the aim of becoming Europe's largest urban mobility transformational initiative.
The EIT Urban Mobility's main objective is to accelerate the transfer of innovation in mobility to cities in order to improve their sustainability and quality of life, with the EIT co-financing of 400 million EUR for a first period of 6 years (2020-2026).
