GAIA EPICHEIREIN supports the Mobilise call of the PoliRural Plus project

Within the framework of the PoliRuralPlus project, in which GAIA EPICHEIREIN participates, a series of four open calls are anticipated. These calls are designed to attract and fund innovative proposals that align with the project’s overarching aims. The primary objective of these calls is to extend the impact of the PoliRuralPlus initiative, exploring new methodologies, technologies, and strategies for rural-urban development.

The calls aim to:

• Encourage innovative approaches to rural development that can be replicated or scaled across different regions.
• Promote collaboration among stakeholders from various sectors, including technology, agriculture, and regional planning, to address rural challenges in a holistic manner.
• Generate insights and solutions that can inform policy and practice, contributing to the broader objectives of balanced rural-urban development.

Maximum support for one organisation across all calls can be 60.000 Euro.

The main objective of the Mobilise call is to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for community-driven innovation focused on enhancing rural-urban interactions. Projects funded under this call are expected to organise local/regional hackathons/datahons/ideathons and through this promote PoliRuralPlus and other solutions and support their validation, extension and/or implementation in the PoliRuralPlus pilot regions.

Application deadline: March 31, 2025 at 17:00 CET
