Following the success of the first three rounds, the 4th Call for pilots of the European Data Space for Smart Communities (DS4SSCC) is now open!
From sustainable mobility to positive energy districts, mitigation of urban heat islands, and more, local communities across Europe have already been driving forward impactful data-driven solutions, built on multi-stakeholder collaboration and data sharing.
Now there’s a new opportunity open for those ready to join and build what’s next.
The call aims to onboard approximately 10 pilots to develop actual services based on data sharing among data space participants, demonstrate the applicability of the DS4SSCC blueprint and demonstrate feasibility of a federated European data space for smart communities.
During this round, pilots are recommended to deploy existing data space components and cooperation models, build on successful use cases in your local context, and/or open up network effects by connecting to existing data spaces to gain value from existing data products and/or services.

The call is open from 1 April to 31 May 2026.

We look forward to receiving your proposals and to supporting projects that contribute to effective and sustainable solutions across Europe!
