New ERRIN project "RECIPROCITY"

New ERRIN project "RECIPROCITY" to foster replication of innovative mobility concepts across Europe

ERRIN has become a partner in a Horizon 2020 funded project "Replication of innovative concepts for peri-urban, rural or inner-city mobility" (RECIPROCITY), where it will lead the activities on sharing and replicating policy and regulation. The project officially started in February 2021 and will last 32 months.  

The RECIPROCITY project aims to help cities to become climate-resilient, connected multimodal nodes for smart and clean mobility through replication. To achieve this, it will initiate and support replication projects in at least 20 cities and municipalities that differ in size, location, degree of urbanisation and mobility needs. Ten out of the twenty already selected cities are ERRIN members and will be equipped with tools, knowledge and contacts to accelerate the development process of innovative mobility solutions. 

RECIPROCITY will employ a four-staged replication framework, helping cities and municipalities to:

  • IDENTIFY the right innovative mobility solutions together with all relevant mobility stakeholders and citizens;
  • LEARN about requirements, processes and skills needed to put these innovative mobility solutions into action;
  • ACCELERATE the implementation of these solutions through guidance and matchmaking for business and finance;
  • SHARE and build upon lessons learned and best practices to enable fast replication on a wide scale.

Through the involvement of clusters and city networks, a wider set of cities and municipalities will also be engaged during the project to increase impact across Europe.

The cities will be involved in a set of activities, including:

  • Mobility Workshops
  • Mobility Trainings
  • Funding & Legal Helpdesk
  • Mobility Accelerator to connect cities and municipalities with investors and to exchange on relevant topics regarding funding and financing.

Moreover, an information and communication platform will serve as a matchmaking tool for the different stakeholders facilitating the successful replication of the identified innovative solutions.
