InnovEU S4E9 — Housing: The Keystone of Every Transition
This is the episode where we say the quiet part out loud:if housing isn’t affordable, your digital upskilling, green mobility, and productivity agendas will stall.
What you’ll get in this episode
* A hard reset on why housing is the foundation of every other transition.
* A candid interview with Pedro Pinheiro (ISCAL, Portugal) on turning students and employers into real innovation partners.
* A practical breakdown of the open call HORIZON-EUSPA-2026-SPACE-02-52 and how to plug your project in.

Episode snapshot
Why housing first.No stable home → poor retention in training, longer commutes, weaker team productivity, and talent flight from pilot cities. We connect the dots so your proposals don’t get blindsided by “cost of living” realities.
Pedro Pinheiro on participation that counts.From classrooms to careers: how to involve students, companies, and city actors so innovation pilots become lived transformation— not PDFs on a shelf.
Open call spotlight: HORIZON-EUSPA-2026-SPACE-02-52.Space data → resilience on the ground. We walk through what the call wants, who should partner, and how to score by putting end-users at the center.
