Call for proposals open: empowering local leaders through AI
The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR), in collaboration with EIT Digital, is launching a new initiative: Empowering Local Leaders through AI.
As Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly central to public service delivery, local and regional governments across Europe need the skills and confidence to harness its potential. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between policy, innovation, and technology, ensuring that territorial leaders are equipped to lead the digital transformation of their communities.
CEMR is now seeking consultancy services to develop and pilot a training programme designed specifically for local and regional governments and their associations. The project will identify training needs, map emerging AI trends, and deliver a practical, hands-on curriculum for local leaders.
- Deadline for submissions: 10 November 2025
- Contract period: December 2025 – December 2026
- Budget: Up to EUR 33,000 (excluding VAT)
Interested experts or organisations are invited to submit their proposals by email to application@ccre-cemr.org with the subject line:
“Developing and Testing a Training Programme on AI for Local and Regional Governments and their Associations.”
Together, let’s empower Europe’s local leaders to use AI for inclusive, ethical, and people-centred governance.
