SITPRO - Study of the Impacts of the Transport RTD Programme
Overview
Background & policy context:
The European Union’s Fourth Framework Programme of Transport Research and Technological Development (RTD) includes more than 280 projects. They span strategic research, integrated transport chains, rail, air, urban, waterborne and road transport. Their objectives are to support the achievement of Community policies, including the Common Transport Policy, and to enhance the quality and capacity of the research capability in Europe. At present, the impact achieved by these projects following their completion is not always clearly seen.
Objectives:
SITPRO aimed to develop and apply a method to assess the impacts of the Transport RTD Programme, and identify ways in which these impacts can be enhanced.
