SMILE CITY provides realistic circular systemic solutions to support the evolution towards a carbon-neutral, environmentally sustainable, toxic-free, circular economy by 2050. The contribution to C02 reduction works on two levels: - an intensive use of recycled materials in replacement of virgin ones, without decreasing the performance of final products; - the use of such products and applications to increase sustainable mobility. The project aims to integrate innovative systemic solutions in up to 100 km of cycling paths and implement 20 e-bike charging stations, developed using different types of recycled urban waste: construction materials, EoL tyres and EoL batteries from Electric Vehicles. The foreseen innovations include the creation of e-bike charging stations made of recycled concrete precast elements and PV panels equally produced with recycled materials, the installation of recycled rubber moulded products for urban furniture such as rubber bollard, lane dividers, and rubberized asphalt, which contributes both to increase sustainability and safety. SMILE CITY will thus assemble the technological state of the art of the different value chains involved to implement circular systemic solutions in 7 different EU and non-EU countries, backing the transition towards a regenerative, inclusive and circular economy at local and regional scale across Europe and therefore boosting interregional and cross-border cooperation. In addition, the project will also increase resource efficiency, reinforcing Europe’s strategic autonomy and reduce the negative environmental footprint related to current recycling techniques of the considered urban waste value chains. By supporting awareness raising and information spreading, SMILE CITY will engage both citizens and industrial leaders in the green transition towards climate-neutral solutions for Circular Cities, bolstering the market uptake of circular solutions through regional and local actions. Two partners are CCRI members.

INCIT-EV aims to demonstrate an innovative set of charging infrastructures, technologies and its associated business models, ready to improve the EV users experience beyond early adopters, thus, fostering the EV market share in the EU. The project will seek the emergence of EV users’ unconscious preferences relying on latest neuroscience techniques to adapt the technological developments to the users’ subjective expectations. 5 demo environments at urban, peri-urban and extra-urban conditions will be ready for the deployment of 7 use cases, addressing: Smart and bi-directional charging optimized at different aggregation levels Dynamic wireless charging lane in an urban area Dynamic wireless charging for long distance (e-road prototype for TEN-T corridors) Charging Hub in a park&ride facility Superfast charging systems for EU corridors Low power DC bidirectional charging infrastructure for EVs, including two-wheelers Opportunity wireless charging for taxi queue lanes in airports & central stations These use cases pursue innovations in the current charging solutions as well as their seamless integration into the existing transport, grid, ICT and civil infrastructures. For this purpose, the INCIT-EV Platform will be developed comprising a DSS and a set of APPs addressing the users and e-mobility stakeholders’ needs. As a result, INCIT-EV will engage 3,475 private EV drivers, as well as 10 local communities, 4 Taxis cooperatives, 4 car sharing and 4 LEVs sharing companies. In total, the project will mobilise directly an investment on the use cases of 8.872 M€. INCIT-EV consortium counts with 33 partners, including 3 OEMs, 6 charging technology providers and 5 public authorities, 6 RTOs, 2 ICT companies, 2 road infrastructures companies, 4 DSOs, 1 TSO, 2 SMEs with expertise in user behavior and e-mobility exploitation, a car sharing services SME and a EV users association. Finally, ENTSO-e or the TInnGo project on gender issues support the project.

The purpose of the Beyond The School Project is to strengthen the teaching profession profile to use out-of-school learning (LOtC) environments correctly and effectively; to bring together the areas of duty as education supervisors in places outside the school for the same purpose as teachers and students; planning the learning processes in an integrated way; to provide the students who carry out their lessons in different places to carry their learning to all areas of their lives and to transfer the social and educational value of the cultural, natural and industrial heritage of the world we live to the future generations. The project aims to produce concrete outputs that can be used by bringing together the employees for this purpose in different occupational groups in order to use the LOtC environments to support planned and classroom teaching. Our project will develop innovative methods, learning materials and tools for educators in the field, taking advantage of different experiences and expertise of schools, regional education authority, museum, science centre and local government in accordance with its priority and purpose. The project consists of a series of activities that will take 30 months in total and 2 LTT and 4 TPM are planned in the project. This period is devoted to organizing, implementing, evaluating and expanding the project activities. To participate in all activities and activities, it is necessary to work with students in out-of-school learning environments. 4 experts from each institution will participate in LTTs and 2 experts from each institution will participate in TPMs.We can divide the project determined activities into the following main headings:Situation Analysis / LOtC National Info Pack: The first activity in the project is the situation analysis and the National Info Pack in the field. With this activity, the applications of the LOtC environments of the partners in their countries, the place of out-of-school education in school education and their approach to LOtC will be evaluated. The situation analysis will form the basis of all activities of the project. By bringing together the national information packages prepared by each partner country by the coordinator, a report (LOtC International Info Pack) with comparative examples and practices in the field will be prepared and will be a resource for both the project team and those working in the field.With the 2 LTTs to be organized within the scope of the project, it will be prepared in such a process that will increase the competencies of the training personnel of the partner institutions and infrastructure will be provided for the activities by including the exchange of good practices. For practical workshops for students, schools and other institutions will come together in the project and prepare joint activities for students, using different teaching methods of different environments. LOtC environments will be handled both curricular based on locations and will be grouped as a cultural, industrial and natural heritage in heritage transfer. With these activities, students will be enabled to learn effectively by including them in a planned lesson based on practice outside of school. Partner schools will implement and evaluate activities prepared by the consortium with at least 5 teachers and 50 students and other institutions with at least 3 teachers and 30 students. Results will be reported and activities will be revised based on the data obtained.The activities experienced by the students will be published on the web page which will be prepared by the educators in short videos and will provide convenience to everyone in the use of the LOtC E-Guide completed at the end of the project. The children will go to the places where they study with their families, and parent-child interaction will both reinforce the topics learned and will be used efficiently and effectively outside the school. At the end of the project, together with the education staff who know the places and the teachers who know the students well, they will bring together the activities, pilot applications and evaluate the activities. Then the coordinator institution will prepare the E Guide of LOtC as an open-source by collecting the data from the partners.Our expectation from the results of the project is to enable educators to use the out-of-school learning (LOtC) environments effectively and efficiently, to contribute to the inclusion of LOtCenvironments in the education programs of schools with the status of a widespread educational institution and to link the heritage transfer with the LOtC. Students who perform their lessons in LOtC environments will be associated with daily life, and they will have the opportunity to learn by living through classroom walls. Effective and permanent learning will be provided that they will embody soft information. By activating creative thinking and imagination, they will realize life-based learning.

For many years, the EU has invested in creating policies to prepare the society for Disasters under the Civil Society Mechanisms Policies. According to statistics published by the International Association of Fire and Rescue Services (CTIF) in 2017, the number of registered professional firemen in 28 EU member countries is estimated 370,000 and active volunteer firefighters over 2.5 million. In our country, fire brigade services are carried out by professional fire brigades with the help of government agencies. The concept of voluntary firefighting in our country is very new and it is not known how many official volunteer firefighters exist Volunteer Firefighters should have various professional skills and competencies, and opportunities should be created to ensure continuous renewal of competencies. DigiFire project aims to increase the quality and effectiveness of EU Civil Protection Mechanism Policies, disaster management policies, lifelong learning policies, Education and training systems within the scope of EU 2020 Strategy; aimed to promote equality, social cohesion and active citizenship and to invest in human capital.To achieve this goal, he chose the method of supporting Volunteer Firefighters with digital training materials.
