We look forward to a fruitful cooperation and swift integration into the Polis network!

We would also like to draw your attention on the funding opportunity for mobility campaigners, which opened this week: Within the European Commission's "Do the right Mix" campaign EUR 7000 are available for each selected action. Read more about it in this InfoPolis.
