Do you want to become our Monitoring and Reporting Officer?
The European Green Vehicles Initiative Association for the 2Zero Partnership (EGVIAfor2Zero) and the Connected Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) Association are associations of stakeholders engaged with the European Commission in co-programmed partnerships, respectively 2Zero and CCAM, in the frame of Horizon Europe.
Both partnerships aim at identifying research and innovation priorities to build the road mobility system of the future. While 2Zero focuses on accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral road transport system, CCAM concentrates on innovative technologies and services in the area of connected and automated mobility.
The two associations gather a variety of stakeholders in the field of road transport, representing, e.g. car manufacturers, suppliers, smart grid industries, logistics companies, road authorities, research centers, universities, and public authorities.
EGVIAfor2Zero and the CCAM Association work hand in hand with the European Commission to define call topics to be included in Horizon Europe Work Programmes in their respective areas. They also help promote EU-funded research and innovation projects in these areas.
Both associations are committed to monitoring these EU-funded projects and complementary activities and reporting to the European Commission and their members. These tasks constitute an important part of the work done by the associations’ secretariats. Monitoring and evaluation help demonstrate the added value and the impact of the partnerships, understand in what direction R&I investments are going, and reassess the needs for the following Work Programmes.
To take on this key activity, EGVIAfor2Zero and the CCAM Association are jointly looking for a Monitoring and reporting officer.
