Long description
Long description
Proposals should be submitted until 31 July 2010
Under the headline of “Climate-friendly freight network” Germany, Sweden, Austria and France express their common interest in freight transport issues in the framework of
ERA-NET TRANSPORT (ENT).
The funding initiative does not foresee a definite closure date. Nevertheless, the ENT procedures foresee an evaluation of the activity during summer. To potential applicants it is therefore highly recommended to submit proposals before 31st of July 2010. Participants from Austria have to hand in at the latest by 15th of July 2010. The specific national call provisions have to be taken into consideration.
Freight transport is essential for economic development and efficient transport and distribution of freight is at the top of the wish list for many countries. A lot of research has already gone into making freight transport systems efficient, cost effective and reliable at the lowest possible cost for the environment. A new emerging transnational funding initiative under ERA-NET TRANSPORT wants to push European knowledge even further. The funding countries behind the continuously open funding initiative are Austria, France, Germany and Sweden.
Research themes
The basic consideration is to set only a wide thematic framework and to provide room for researchers to develop high quality project ideas. The following main topics will be of interest
i. Urban freight distribution
ii. Long-distance transport and the
freight transport corridors
iii. Intermodality on freight transport
iv. Intelligent logistics
Due to national research priorities and provisions in national calls, not all themes can be funded by all national programmes. More detailed information is included in the guide for applicants.
Information on procedures
Due to the open nature of the cut-off dates for this transnational research initiative it is highly recommended to contact the national contact point for your programme/country, before starting a proposal process. The national contact point can advise on frame conditions, cut-off dates and can give a first validation of the research idea. Further it is recommended to draft a pre-proposal of max 10 pages outlining the research idea and potential partners in the consortia.
For further information on the formal requirements see the guide of applicants that can be downloaded following the abovementioned link.
