TransNew - Support for realising new Member and Associate States' potentials in transport research
Overview
Background & policy context:
The TRANSNEW project focussed on mapping the transport research potential in all New Member and Associated States.
The project covered all transport modes, including aeronautics, and exploited the synergies between air transport and surface transport. This means that the national transport research capability for 26 countries were to be defined. This information will be available to everyone, through the download of reports (country, regional and mode reports) and the use of a publicly accessible user-friendly database.
Objectives:
The objective of the TRANSNEW project was to develop an international database that highlights the strengths and weaknesses in transport research, both country and region wide.
Methodology:
To achieve the overall goals of the project the work was separated into eight Work Packages. Work Packages 1-5 cover the country specific research whilst the other three Work packages are Mode Specific, Dissemination and the database.
As per December 2011, this database has become available for public access at the project website. It will enable networking and partner searching. The database will continue to grow after the life of the project, as information can be added by interested parties.
