SCALE-UP In Action
Newsletter Issue #1-2021
SCALE-UP In Action is the quarterly e-Newsletter of the EU-funded SCALE-UP Innovation Action, sharing news on the progress of the project activities.
SCALE-UP kick-off meeting held
The first SCALE-UP Innovation Action meeting was held digitally on 09-11 June.
During the three-day event, all consortium partners attended several sessions dedicated to each of the Work Packages as well as the three Urban Nodes and general organisation. Each WP leader had the opportunity to introduce their planned activities and focus.
The meeting represented also the first opportunity for all consortium partners to come together and get to know each other better through ice breakers and during coffee breaks.
SCALE-UP website launched
Both the website as well as social media accounts have been published to communicate on current and upcoming project activities.
Apart from the SCALE-UP website, which contains all information and deliverables of the Innovation Action, three social media channels have been launched to ensure not only good communication of the project but also serves as a digital archive for all partners.
The project is represented now on the platforms LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube, where updates on SCALE-UP activities and the Urban Nodes are released on a regular basis. Furthermore, an e-Newsletter has been launched and a first meeting for the Urban Nodes Platform has been fixed.
First SCALE-UP activity announced in Antwerp
A shared fleet of electric bicycles is to be launched across Antwerp Transport Region’s mobility junctions.
In order to enable citizens to travel further distances with more comfort, the Transport Region has partnered with the operator Donkey Republic to deploy a large fleet of 1,650 bikes starting in spring 2022.
