Operating with open innovation principles, ekip will establish a partner and network-driven policy recommendation engine to continuously drive the formulation and adoption of policy development recommendations for Europe’s Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs). This will result in support and guidance that strengthens the capacity for CCI-actors to engage in and contribute to complex innovation processes. The interplay between the projects activities will allow us to deliver two objectives – building the meta-network amongst ecosystems and developing the knowledge-based and participatory policy engine – which will come together in making the third objective – supporting the development for CCI-centered ecosystems – possible. The engine is designed to in three main phases (i.e. five steps) achieve this: -Assess needs for future R&I actions - List of defined policy areas together with a meta-network of networks covering all member states and the CCI diversity. -Mapping of needs CCIs; tech, invest, skill, regulation - Investigate prioritised policy areas looking broadly and across sectors, also focusing on recommendations that will (i) increase the CCIs’ readiness for green and digital transitions as well as for the rest of the economy and society. -Identify and propose key actions - Formulate policy recommendations, also giving practical guidelines of how to implement and track development in ecosystems. ekip brings together highly networked and diverse organisations with strong track-record in research, innovation, and policymaking for and with the CCIs. Beneficiaries from 12 countries with different social, cultural, and economic contexts. Leading universities with expertise on research and innovation in culture and creativity. Organisations with online data collection and analysis competences and visualisation skills. Specialised policy consulting companies and advisories will be linking practice, research, and innovation with policy development for the CCI.

The growing motorization in our cities has led to an increase in traffic congestion, noise, pollution, carbon emissions and concerns about road safety, resulting in social, environmental, and economic consequences. AntifragiCity’s overall aim is to pave the way to a new urban mobility governance approach that enables cities to understand their business-as-usual modus-operandi (defined as their state of equilibrium) and to monitor (near) real-time continuous stressors and deviations from this state, assess potential implications through simulation and prediction capabilities, evaluate mobility triage scenario public acceptability and justice, and inform adapted decision making to mitigate their consequences, while continuously enhancing sustainability and resilience. AntifragiCity will pave the way to antifragile mobility urban systems that (a) exploit an adapted framework and associated KPIs to continuously monitor the level of resilience of urban mobility and detect (near) real-time potential stressors; (b) characterize these stressors as well as their level of severity thanks to an event ontology; (c) devise adapted short-term responses based on a mobility triage decision support system; (d) simulate and analyse multi-objective transportation management strategies to improve long-term performance of urban mobility and transport systems, through a wide range of measures, including adaptive traffic management systems that ad-just in real-time to disruptions, predictive analytics to preemptively address potential system stressors and innovative, energy-efficient solutions like dynamic routing and adaptive lighting, (e) employ participative methods to engage citizens through a co-creation process via Living labs in three demonstration cities (Larisa, Odessa, and Bratislava) that addresses both their immediate needs and long-term goals. The project results will be scaled up across our 8 participating countries and wider Europe.
