ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures (ENSUF), run by the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe, has opened its fourth call for applicants.

ENSUF is a Joint Call of the JPI Urban Europe supported by the European Commission under the Horizon2020 research and innovation programme funding. It is meant for cities and civil society in Europe to work together in addressing urgent and short-term challenges and co-creating ideas and projects.

The fourth ENSUF call, released on December 16th, is articulated by three topics and it will follow a two step procedure. During the first stage, consortia are invited to submit pre-proposals. After the submission of the pre-proposals, approximately 50 pre-proposals will be selected. The successful consortia will be invited to elaborate their ideas to full proposals.

The European Commission’s DG CONNECT (‘Net Futures’ Directorate) is hosting an Info Day about current open 'calls' for research funding grants and calls under "Horizon 2020 ICT Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEIT)" and also for IoT cross-cutting actions. 

Researchers and innovators from Tunisia will now be able to participate in Horizon 2020, the EU's framework programme for research and innovation, under the same conditions as their counterparts from EU Member States and other 13 associated countries. The agreement associating Tunisia to Horizon 2020 is being signed today by Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, and Chiheb Bouden, Tunisian Minister for High Education and Scientific Research.
