Periodic Reporting for period 1 - TRA2024 (Transport Research Arena 2024: Dublin)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2022-05-01 do 2023-10-31
The overall objective of this Coordination and Support Action (CSA) project is to facilitate and ensure the high-quality organization of TRA 2024. This effort is significant for European transport research, as it seeks to engage stakeholders, policymakers, researchers, and the public to address genuine societal needs with practical solutions.
The TRA 2024 conference will address further societal needs, particularly around diversity in the transport sector. TRA 2024 will engage with under-represented groups, ensuring that the research reflects the diverse needs of society.
The partners will work together to deliver a conference that builds on the success of previous TRA conferences and provide a forum that will allow the key actors in the transport sector come together to develop solutions for society’s needs. The project will not generate new results or products, but instead will seek to provide a productive environment in which key actors in Europe’s vast transport sector can come together. This will lead to improved connections between stakeholders and enhanced visibility for Europe’s transport policies.
The conference will connect industrial partners to researchers and facilitate the exploitation of the conducted research, and will also feature a high quality communications programme, that will make sure the general public is engaged with. There is a strong social demand for novel ways to reduce the environmental impact of our transport sector, and TRA2024 will showcase how Europe is responding to this.
Finally, it is important in all fields that due recognition is given to the best researchers. The TRA Visions competition will showcase the best of European transport research and incentivise future transport innovators.
The partners will work with key stakeholders to ensure the conference themes support European policies. The proposal also has the full support of the Irish Minister for Transport and this will ensure the full support of relevant Irish agencies.
solutions for all transport modes.
Some expected outcomes under the work programme topic are:
Increase the visibility, political and strategic relevance of the transport sector and of the EU policy in the field.
Enhanced dissemination, communication and valorisation of transport R&I objectives, perspectives, strategies and results.
More effective links and exchanges between research and innovation stakeholders and policy makers, to support the development and deployment and exploitation of innovative solutions in Europe.
Increased attractiveness of transport related studies and reinforce the pursuit of excellence in European transport research and innovation, by giving recognition and visibility to the best achievements.
Encourage the participation of women and other underrepresented groups in the transport sector.
