== EIT Urban Mobility Strategic Agenda 2021–2027 ==
The ''[https://www.eiturbanmobility.eu/eit-urban-mobility-strategic-agenda-2021-2027/ EIT Urban Mobility Strategic Agenda 2021–2027]'' frames Europe’s city-level mobility transformation around three axes: '''active mobility first''', '''decarbonised logistics''', and '''digital cities via AI & data spaces'''. Education and entrepreneurship ensure wide uptake of new solutions through the [https://www.eiturbanmobility.eu/what-we-offer/education-and-training/ Academy], [https://www.eiturbanmobility.eu/living-labs-cities-and-citizens-at-the-core-in-shaping-the-cities-of-the-future/ Living Labs], and [https://www.eit.europa.eu/activities/eit-regional-innovation-scheme-ris-closing-innovation-divide-europe RIS regions].

For '''OPENVERSE''', [https://www.eiturbanmobility.eu/ EIT UM] is the urban-spatial pillar of the ecosystem — a real-world testbed for digital-twin interoperability, XR-based citizen engagement, and sustainability metrics. Joint pilots on '''virtual city twins''', '''mobility data spaces''', and '''AI ethics for smart cities''' would let OPENVERSE embed its building-block logic into Europe’s urban innovation agenda.

# '''Inclusive Innovation & Skills''' — citizen engagement and capacity building.

'''Expected Outcomes / KPIs:'''
* > 300 innovations tested and 150 start-ups accelerated by 2027;
* 50 cities implementing EIT UM solutions; 40 k people trained through Academy and RIS programmes (p. 45);
* Green Deal Mission on Climate-Neutral Cities;
* Urban Agenda for the EU; Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy (SSMS).
