How to establish an Action Group

Action Groups are groups of national programme managers intending to set up and prepare joint activities within the selected topic. An Action Group is set up on a specific research topic that has been endorsed by three or more ERA-NET TRANSPORT partner countries. This can be done either by the outcome of the consultation following a targeted workshop (pro-active appoach), or by demand of one or more members of the ERA-NET TRANSPORT (responsive appoach). Every country has the freedom to choose whether it wants to participate at the related Action Group following national priorities. New participants have the possibility to join an Action Group later on.

 

Every Action Group has a leader and a proposed outcome can reach from exchange of information up to joint calls for proposals or joint programming.

Please find more information about the active Action Groups by clicking the groups on the left side.

 

Following the track of the pro-active approach a large set of running Action Groups were founded on the below listed Targeted Workshops:

  • Targeted Workshop 1: "ITS and Reliability of Passenger Transport", 29-30 November 2004, Paris.
  • Targeted Workshop 2: "Environmental Improvements through Vehicle Technology", 13-14 June 2005, Paris.
  • Targeted Workshop 3: "Safety and Security Improvements through Infrastructure Management", foreseen 8-9 February 2006.
