Objective
TRANSPORTNET is a network of eight European leading universities involved in transport research and education. One of its major targets is the training of young researchers specialised in different fields of transport and a thorough knowledge of the requi rements for implementing successfully transport policies. As part of this target, the network wants to start with a training programme for young researchers in four major fields for which wider research experience has to be built up: - analysing and unde rstanding the business decisions and strategies of shippers, transporters and logistics suppliers, in order to stimulate inter- and multimodal transport; - setting up tools for a dynamic analysis and monitoring of transportation policies, enabling analysin g and understanding the main direct and indirect impacts caused by policy measures; - setting up tools supporting the management of growth of Trans-European transport networks, railway corridors in particular, to allow the harmonisation of asset extension s or renewal policies and to ensure the durability of the infrastructure; - analysing and understanding all the issues involved in urban transport of people and goods as it causes intense congestion, a rising frequency of accidents and environmental proble ms. It is the purpose of this project to provide training to young researchers in these four areas by setting up a number of specific courses, seminars, summer schools and master classes. Part of it will be concentrated along four thematic streams: Intern ational Trade and Transport; Urban Mobility; Infrastructure Development and Management; Transport Businesses and Markets. The aim is to get out of this research training area not only well trained researchers to enforce the research community, but also a number of high quality PhD¿s, journal papers, books in scientific series and policy papers. One of the final targets is to come to a multidisciplinary European PhD programme in transportation research.
