Preparation of works for Operational digital platforms

Detailed Call Description

This topic will be funded on the basis of the eligible “actions implementing digital connectivity infrastructure requirements related to cross-border projects in the areas of transport or energy and/or supporting operational digital platforms directly associated to transport or energy infrastructures”

This CSA will prepare the future works project(s) by identifying the most appropriate cases to be funded and by delivering the building blocks (such as governance, detailed design, etc.) needed for immediate deployment of the cross-border infrastructure within the works project(s). It will consist of four stages and it should last 27 months. These four stages include:

  • Exploratory study to prepare the baseline and identify and shortlist lead use cases in energy, mobility and cross-sector energy/mobility (5 months);
  • Feasibility study for the shortlisted cases (7 months);
  • Detailed preparations for the shortlisted cases (9 months); and
  • Assistance to projects coming from the first call for works (6 months).
  • (further details regarding these stages, see p. 10-11)

    The governance body for the emerging infrastructure should be set up by the CSA (and described in the proposal), and include several entities of each major category of stakeholders, including in particular representatives involved in the long term operations of the infrastructure such as energy companies, data centre operators, transport, telecom and/or platform operators, public authorities, etc.
