Grants for Measuring Road Transport Results towards 2ZERO KPIs

Deadline: 20-Apr-23

The European Commission (EC) is seeking applications for Measuring Road Transport Results towards 2ZERO KPIs.

Scope

• In order to properly monitor the contribution of the different funded projects to the achievements of the 2ZERO partnership objectives, a common framework for monitoring and assessment of the results needs to be agreed, ultimately allowing their comparison and a proper evaluation of their cumulative benefits at an EU level. Moreover, general objectives, such as a carbon-neutral road transport system by 2050, air quality, technology leadership, economic growth, European competitiveness, and circular economy aspects should be also addressed.

Outcomes

• In its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), the 2ZERO partnership identified a large number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to its general, specific and operational objectives – that are not directly under the control of the 2ZERO partnership. In order to analyse the effectiveness and impact of the research and innovation actions in this relevant area, project results are expected to contribute to all the following outcomes:
  • Account for the contribution of the 2ZERO partnership and the results of its projects, towards its main goals (as measured against the whole set of the identified KPIs).
  • Support the identification and quantification of all interactions, impacts and effectiveness of the partnership within the road transport challenge, mainly as a result of the information gleaned from the 2ZERO partnership project results.
  • Provide additional recommendations for further development and analysis of means of measurement and evaluation of the partnership within the road transport challenge.

Funding Information

• The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
  • Public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
  • Cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).

Eligibility Criteria

• To become a beneficiary, legal entities must be eligible for funding.
• To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the following countries:
  • The Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions,
  • The Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States,
  • Countries associated to Horizon Europe,
  • The following low- and middle-income countries.
