Objective
TRANS-AID is a proposed Marie Curie TOK-DEV action that will be contacted at the beginning of the enlarged European Union era. The new countries, among them Hungary, will have to invest in major infrastructure Programmes in order to be able to keep pace or even compete their counterparts in Europe and upgrade their living conditions.
Alternative ways and methods of financing transport infrastructure projects will be have to be found and applied in order to effectively respond to challenges of the times. The ultimate objective of the project is the reinforcement of the research potential and competence of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE) and its Department of Transport Economics in particular, in the research topic 'transport infrastructure financing'.
The project will give the opportunity to one of the new countries recently joined the enlarged European Union, Hungary, to develop new areas of expertise and enhance the knowledge in one of its most well-known universities, in a transport-related research topic that can play a determinant role in the country's economic development. This objective will be met through the mobilization of researchers to and from BUTE in cooperation with two well known European Transport Research Institutes, INRETS and HIT.
Two researchers' mobilization schemes will be employed:
-Two experienced researchers will be selected (following an international publication of vacancies) and recruited by BUTE in order to train the local staff of BUTE at its premises. The project will exploit the extensive networks of ECTRI, FERSI, SETREF and EU Cordis in order to find researchers with substantial skills in training and experience in the research topic.
-Four BUTE researchers will visit the laboratories of INRETS and HIT (two in each Institute), in order to be trained by the experienced researchers of these two Institutes.
