Workshop “Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities European EU Mission”
The Unite! WIDENING project organises this workshop which will take place at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, on May 17th. The event aims to inform about the future perspectives, challenges and funding opportunities of the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities European EU Mission.
One of the specific objectives of the Unite!WIDENING project is to strengthen the global competitiveness and international visibility of the Universities, promoting the European Research Area policy and creating critical mass in key areas such as the green transition and Horizon Europe mission areas.
The Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities plays a significant role in contributing to the green transition. It involves local, regional and national authorities, citizens and businesses to deliver 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030 and ensure that these cities act as Experimentation and Innovation Hubs to enable all European cities to follow suit by 2050. The European Commission launched a Call for Expression of Interest addressed to cities that allowed cities to state their interest in becoming climate-neutral by 2030 as part of the Mission and to submit information on their current situation, ongoing work, and future plans with regard to climate neutrality. Torino has been selected as one of the 100 cities that participate in the Cities Mission.
