TEN-T Urban Nodes Forum
Building on the legacy of the H2020 VitalNodes Project, MOVE21 promoted close collaboration between urban nodes to address policies, governance issues, and the planning of multimodal and interconnected hubs in cities, as well as their integration into the functional urban areas and the TEN-T network.
MOVE21 actively engaged the wider community of all 88 European urban nodes through various forums, training sessions, knowledge exchange, and follow-up projects, thus impacting both short-term and long-term capacity building.
The Scan-Med Observatory
The Scan-Med Observatory served as a test bed to identify and promote new forms of governance cooperation and innovation on TEN-T corridor level for urban nodes. The Scan-Med Observatory was an ecosystem for governance coordination and data and knowledge sharing in the TEN-T Scan-Med corridor, reaching out to cities, regions and other relevant stakeholders, and building on the legacy and recommendations of the VitalNodes project (H2020).
The Observatory promoted a coherent set of actions that facilitated institutional networking at TEN-T corridor level and encouraged common funding mechanisms and joint systems components between cities and regions. The Scan-Med Observatory proactively sought to cooperate with the Ideas Laboratories pioneered by the Scan-Med Corridor coordinator and the STRING network. MOVE21 actively promoted this model of organising urban nodes, and welcomed replication efforts on other TEN-T corridors beyond the Scan-Med corridor.
Two deliverables were foreseen:
D10.4 Scan-Med Observatory Framework Plan
This deliverable aimed to define the preliminary organisation and activities of the Scan-Med Observatory, along with guidelines on how the organisational model could be replicated across other TEN-T corridors.
D10.5 Scan-Med Observatory Action Plan
This document outlined the vision, strategy, and set of actions required to establish the Observatory as a permanent community and operational body.
