PASTEUR - Policy assessment, scenario analysis and transport economic research in Europe
Overview
Background & policy context:
In the transport sector, research is an essential support to policy-making, ensuring that the most effective measures are adopted in support of economic, social and environmental goals. But this research is often split between various European, national, industry-based and academic programmes, and is divided into specialist projects. Such fragmentation calls for integrative analysis to pull together the 'big picture' and the key conclusions, and to present these to policy-makers in a succinct way. For this reason, the European Commission has funded a number of Concerted Actions and Thematic Networks.
Objectives:
The aim of the PASTEUR Concerted Action was to create a discussion platform between policy-makers and researchers at national and European levels, and to structure and synthesise research results. This covered the fields of policy assessment, transport economics, scenario analysis and technology integration. Two out of four planned meetings were held.
