Periodic Reporting for period 1 - TRA VISIONS 2022 (TRA VISIONS 2022)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2020-11-01 do 2021-10-31
1. This summary should give readers a clear idea of the context and overall objectives of what the project is about.
The main idea of this project is to organise two competitions for transport research awards to be presented at the TRA conference in 2022
---------------------------------------------
- A young researcher competition is aimed with the goal of increasing the interest among young researchers/ students by addressing the opportunities in the field of sustainable surface transport.
- A competition for senior researchers in the field of innovative surface transport concepts based on results only from EU-funded projects.
The objectives to be achieved by the TRA Visions project are:
- To accomplish a strong attendance of young transportation researchers in the TRA-2022 conference;
- To spot the top performing young researchers considering all modes of surface transportation and acknowledge their achievement;
- To gain strong participation from senior researchers in transportation in the TRA-2022 conference
- To identify champions of transport research in EU funded projects
- To further promote the TRA conference as the premier series in its field worldwide,
- To achieve a valuable coordination with the TRA conference organisers in order to gain from high level of media coverage.
- To build a spirited community of young transport researchers in the European Union, EU candidate and potential candidate countries and the European Economic Area;
- To foster and acknowledge excellence in the field of research at senior level
- To support an inter-disciplinary approach, linking basic science, socio-economics and applied sciences/engineering;
- To trigger the imagination of delegates at the TRA-2022 conference and provoke discussion on the foreseeable future of surface transport;
- To promote the essential interaction between young transport researchers and senior researchers working in different modes.

3 Evolution beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the enhanced societal implications of the project so far)
---------------------------------------------
The final outcomes of the project which are the effective organisation execution and dissemination of the two transport competitions are expected to achieve the following impact goals.
- The competitions and project final outcomes will encourage young researchers/students to submit their research work to the competition.
- The competitions and project final outcomes will encourage partners from EU-funded projects to further develop innovative ideas from their projects.
- The competitions and project final outcomes will directly provide support to the TRA conference (scheduled to take place in the next reporting period) as a successful, high quality scientific event with a high level of media coverage which is considered as the first Transport research conference in Europe.
- The competitions and project final results will efficiently disseminate knowledge and results of European and National research projects in the area of Sustainable Surface Transport and thus improve the coordination of research, technology development and innovation in the Surface Transport sector in Europe.
- The competitions and project final outcomes will drive to enhanced European competitive advantage.
