CommuniCity is a transformative citizen-centred project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe Programme. This initiative is aimed at enhancing community connectivity and fostering open innovation across member states. It seeks to support projects that leverage technology and collaborative efforts to solve communal challenges, improve local infrastructure, and enhance the quality of life for citizens.

CommuniCity encourages applications from public sector bodies, NGOs, technology firms, and research institutions, all working together to create scalable, sustainable solutions for community-driven issues. The focus is on digital innovation, social inclusivity, and environmental sustainability, aiming to create a more interconnected and resilient European community.

The call invites innovative proposals in areas such as smart city development, digital education platforms, green technologies, and social inclusion programs. These projects should demonstrate a clear path to improving communal services, citizen engagement, and environmental stewardship, aligning with the EU's broader goals of social progress and sustainability.

This initiative represents a significant opportunity for stakeholders at all levels to contribute to the shaping of Europe's future, emphasising the importance of community in the digital age. With a commitment to openness and collaboration, CommuniCity sets the stage for transformative projects that can serve as benchmarks for community innovation worldwide.
