MobiDataLab

POLIS is proud to participate in the Horizon 2020 EU Research and Innovation programme by contributing to the 3-year MobiDataLab project coordinated by AKKA Technologies, launched on February 1^st, 2021.

The MobiDataLab project aims to foster digitalisation for mobility stakeholders through the development of worldwide data-sharing culture, starting with Europe. The research programme will help mobility stakeholders optimize the use of data to improve their operations and services by proposing a replicable methodology and sustainable tools.

The project is based on a continuous co-development of knowledge and technical solutions for data sharing in the transport and mobility sectors. This will be put into action through problem-solving-oriented Labs, the collection and analysis of advice and recommendations of experts and supporting cities/regions/clusters/associations. They will be aided by the incremental construction of a cross-thematic knowledge base, and of a cloud-based service platform, which will coordinate access and usage of data sharing resources.

The project consortium is composed of 9 partners across Europe from various sectors (Industry, Research, Academia, Consultancy and Governance). The consortium shares a common view on the values and benefits of open data and open-source principles for fostering independence and uptake by communities.
