The second call for proposals for the Scalable Cities Action Grant is open until 31 May.

The Scalable Cities Action Grant is a financial tool to support the replication of measures already successfully tested in Smart Cities and Communities projects.

The second call for proposals, open until 31 May, addresses three main topics:

This call targets cities and related partners (local energy agencies, construction agencies, civil society organisations, research institutes) from completed Horizon 2020 SCC01 Lighthouse projects and/or external cities interested in replicating specific actions from those Scalable Cities projects.

This call seeks to:

• improve and optimise internal city governance structures, and/or
• support the transfer of knowledge from SCC projects to cities through the development and/or implementation of educational activities and programmes, and/or
• accelerate the digitalization of the energy sector which can help municipalities to lower their energy consumption, stimulate investments in renewable energy and ultimately lower energy bills.
