We are driving research and innovation on how positive incentives can encourage citizens to reconsider their travel choices and reduce the extent to which they travel using conventionally fuelled vehicles (CFV). Living Labs in EMPOWER The EMPOWER concept and mobility services will be initially trialled in large scale 'living labs' involving members of the public in the cities of Enschede (Netherlands), Gothenburg (Sweden), Helsinki (Finland) and in the (UK). In order to deliver our ambitious roll-out plans, we wish to recruit a further living lab based in the UK to provide a further large scale real-life implementation.

The UK Living Lab stakeholders will develop and deliver the actual implementation, with the help of some funding from the EMPOWER budget of up to PS80k. EMPOWER partners will assist with some of the design and training functions where helpful (for example on evaluation method) and collaborate on the provision of mobility services (as needed).
