About CITADEL Open Call 1 The CITADEL Open Call 1 supports security-focused demonstration and pilot projects aimed at strengthening the protection and resilience of critical infrastructures, urban environments, and territories against physical, cyber, and hybrid threats. Projects must validate advanced digital security technologies in real or near-real operational environments, moving from TRL 5–6 to TRL 6–7+. Supported technologies include in particular: • Artificial Intelligence and data analytics (predictive analytics, anomaly detection, decision support, digital twins) • IoT and smart sensing systems (multi-sensor monitoring, edge AI, secure IoT architectures) • Photonics and optical systems (computer vision, advanced sensing, robotics perception) • Cybersecurity solutions (threat detection, secure data management, cyber resilience) • Secure communication and interoperable platforms for crisis coordination and emergency response Funding does not cover technology acquisition, but rather field validation, operational testing, performance measurement (KPIs), and integration within the security value chain to accelerate market uptake.

La iniciativa del Barcelona Innova Lab Mobility (BILM) busca soluciones basadas en IA para adaptar en tiempo real la regulación de los indicadores de paso para mejorar la movilidad urbana. El reto surge después de un estudio conjunto entre el Ayuntamiento y la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña - BarcelonaTech (UPC), donde se destaca tanto la diversidad de modos de transporte como la densidad de conexiones de la red.

SME develops modular Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) combined with an advanced cloud-based Energy Management Platform. The solution delivers continuous battery health monitoring, digital twin analytics and intelligent Energy Management System (EMS) services, including market arbitrage, self-consumption, peak shaving, and grid services. They are preparing to develop next-generation EMS through AI-based, optimized control and forecasting to manage power flow more efficiently across assets.

What is the Renewable Energy Community Prize? The Prize celebrates European communities that are pioneering new ways of organising and governing their collective energy future. Launched by the European Commission, the Prize will recognise ten outstanding energy communities that have developed creative, inclusive, and effective governance models. These may include new participatory decision-making processes, equitable benefit-sharing mechanisms, or innovative collaborations between citizens, local authorities, and local enterprises. This initiative celebrates pioneering approaches that ensure fair participation, transparency, and collaboration – helping to build resilient, citizen-driven energy systems for Europe’s sustainable future.
