- Establishing current state-of-the-art in transport research in the European Union:
- Assessing capabilities and capacities in transport research:
- Developing cross-border collaborations
Projects include:
- HERMES, an EC funded project to gather transport research databases worldwide and create a portal through which these databases can be accessed;
- ERRAC Roadmap which will draft a strategic plan to turn the ERRAC 2020 Vision into reality.
Recent projects include:
- TransNEW evaluated the transport research capability and capacity in rail, road, waterborne and aeronautics of the EU New Member States, This established a benchmark of the current research activity in each of these countries and created a database of contacts to enable researchers to network with one another. In addition researchers in these countries were trained to form consortia, write proposals and encouraged to participate in European projects.
