It promotes the vision of a sustainable, connected, and competitive European transport system and exemplifies the European Commission’s commitment to open science. TRIMIS collects, curates, analyses, and disseminates European data on transport research and innovation. It also analyses technology trends and research and innovation capacities in the transport sector. TRIMIS maintains an open database of almost 9,000 transport research and innovation projects funded under the programmes Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020, FP7, Interreg, Connecting Europe Facility, and projects funded by Member States.
TRIMIS supports the implementation of transport policies at European Union and Member State level. Under the Horizon 2020 programme, TRIMIS helped the development and monitoring of the Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agenda (STRIA), which outlined transport R&I priorities to achieve a more sustainable European transport sector. STRIA was adopted as part of the “Europe on the Move” package, which underlined the main transport R&I areas and priorities for clean, connected and competitive mobility, complementing the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan.
The Horizon Europe programme has benefitted from the experience of Horizon 2020 and has built on a renewed strategy to achieve the greatest possible impact of Union funding and the most effective contribution to the Union’s policy objectives.
