The Etna Plus “Guide to Transnational Cooperation in Transport Research and Innovation”

by | Mar 4, 2015 | Uncategorized

As a world leader of research and innovation (R&I), the EU is responsible for almost a quarter of world expenditure on research, while representing only 7% of the population. As part of this research, the EU has identified the need to continually strengthen dialogue between Member States and Associated Countries, as well as international partners, to build a ‘critical mass’ for tackling the evolving societal challenges thrown before it. The field of Transport is no exception, and is integral to the European Research Area (ERA) – aimed at overcoming the fragmentation of research in Europe that prevents European Member States from fulfilling their R&I potential.

GREEN AND SAFE WATERBORNE TRANSPORT & TECHNOLOGY GREEN -WATT – ERA-NET COFUND 2016

by | Feb 27, 2015 | Uncategorized

1. WHY DO WE NEED AN ERA-NET ON WATERBORNE TRANSPORT AND TECHNOLOGIES?

As waterborne transport systems are increasingly the backbone of the international trade and exchange of goods, the research and innovation activities in that field cannot be tackled at national levels alone. Coordinated actions are required for the maritime industry to strengthen Europe’s position in this important and complex economic field. Concentrated and targeted RDI funding on common research priorities will foster waterborne transport in Europe. In this highly competitive sector networking, transnational collaboration and joint initiatives are the keys to success. Actual challenges in that field are: (more…)
