The Horizon Europe: UK–EU CCAM Collaboration Webinar Series 2025 is a 5-part online programme designed to strengthen cross-border collaboration between UK and European stakeholders engaged in Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM). CCAM projects allow road users and traffic managers to share information and use it to coordinate their actions to significantly improve road safety, traffic efficiency and comfort of driving, by helping the driver to take the right decisions and adapt to the traffic situation.
Hosted by Innovate UK Business Connect and supported by national and EU CCAM leaders, the series aims to foster new collaborations, align UK–EU innovation strategies, and boost joint responses to Horizon Europe Cluster 5 CCAM calls.
The series provides a platform to:
- Facilitate early dialogue on upcoming Horizon Europe Cluster 5 CCAM call
- Connect project leads, researchers, industry, and public sector stakeholders
- Encourage the formation of high-quality, internationally aligned consortia
Each session will highlight relevant UK and EU projects, present funding opportunities, and offer targeted networking to explore collaboration potential.
