Nice takes action for cross-border cooperation projects

The Nice-Côte d'Azur Metropolis has had a total of 22 projects that have been submitted to it or are in the process of being submitted under the ALCOTRA programme, and three projects under the MARITTIMO programme:

- Proterina 3 Evolution comprises 14 partners involved in combating natural risks. The project was launched in January 2017. It will last for 36 months and has funding of €6,053,800, which constitutes 85% of the total. With this project, the metropolitan territory will see the installation of sensors in the River Magnan in order to monitor areas at risk.

- RUMBLE and SMART DESTINATION are two projects that were launched on 1 April 2018.
RUMBLE aims to reduce the noise from ports. Among the eight partners, there are universities, cities and port authorities. The total budget is €2,243,510, with 85% in the form of funding. Thanks to this project, the port of Nice will be installed with 11 sensors to detect the noise produced by port activities and enable possible solutions to be found.
SMART DESTINATION receives funding that covers 85% of its budget of €1,436,656. It aims to make data available to tourists at all times and in all places, in the French and Italian territories involved in the project. Tourists will be able to use an app that enables them to find information on both sides of the border by means of a single tool.
