ASSESSING, ANALYSING AND DEFINING STRATEGIES FOR REALISING NEW MEMBER
STATES’ POTENTIALS IN TRANSPORT RESEARCH
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW
Coordinating and Support Action aimed at supporting transport research activities in the NMS
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW started on 01 January 2010 and runs for 2 years to December 2011
The project has 48 deliverables consisting of:
Reports on each of the 26 countries4 regional reports4 mode evaluation reports6 newslettersOther reports on Management issues and
workshops, etc
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW covers all transport modes, including Aeronautics.
TransNEW is assessing who is making a contribution to common transport research objectives such as:
- advancing competitiveness- anticipating and responding to the socio-economic and environmental challenges of the transport system - promoting transport research SMEs
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW is clustering the research capacity results by five Activities. These are:
1. Greening – environmental impacts of transport and climate change2. Enhanced integration of transport modes3. Safety and Security4. Transport system efficiency and Mobility5. Competitiveness
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Objectives of TransNEW:- Assess transport research capabilities- Foster cross border-integration- Create a database of transport research expertise based on the findings of the capability and capacity research - Promote SME’s active in transport research- Increase market uptake of funding
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Methodology:
- Data collectionfrom key researchers, country specific organisations in Universities and industry and transport-related projects- Desk based research- Questionnaire- Data responses- Interactive workshopsSame process was used with SMEs
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Clustering:
To cover large workload TransNEW is split into clusters of
- 26 Regions/States; and - modes of transport
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW Regions are:BALTIC STATES – Estonia, Lithuania, LatviaCENTRAL EUROPE – Czech Rep. Hungary, Poland, SlovakiaWEST BALKANS – Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, SloveniaSOUTH BALKANS AND MEDITERRANEAN – Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Moldova, Romania, TurkeyASSOCIATED STATES – Iceland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Lichtenstein
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Country reports:- Each country report follows the same format - Country reports focus on transport research state-of-the-art highlighting strengths and gaps in transport research- also includes SME’s
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Regional reports:
- Country reports from the region are compared and contrasted the regional reports- These reports focus on Policies and Priorities; transport research potential and projects and recommendations from the research
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Mode Evaluation:
- Country reports also incorporate mode specific research that becomes a dedicated mode evaluation report for each country and region
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Access to reports:- All reports are available to download from the TransNEW website at www.transnew.eu
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Workshops are based on 2 topics
Research capabilities and capacities workshops
Research Opportunities workshops
Interactive workshops
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Research Capacities and capabilities workshops
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Disseminates the results of the regional research:
an overview of transport research in the region
gives examples of transport research excellence in the four modes in TransNEW
digital voting sessions assess the transport research strengths and priorities of the audience
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
For this region – this workshop was held in Istanbul, Turkey in June 2011
Presentations from this workshop are available at:
www.transnew.eu

Research Opportunities Workshops
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Objectives of this workshop is to:
bring together transport research experts interested in obtaining EC funding
provide information about EC funding and bring together regional NCPs
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Objectives of this workshop is to:
the ETNA project is a network of transport National Contact Points
TransNEW and ETNA have a Cooperation Agreement to collaborate in bringing together transport research experts in such forums as this
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Objectives of this workshop is to:
encourage researchers to register on the TransNEW database of transport researchers and organisations
assist in the networking process
disseminate information concerning the recent Calls for Proposals
assist with the formation of consortia
TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
The Way Forward
The TransNEW database will continue to be maintained and expanded for at least two years after the end of the project
