ASSESSING, ANALYSING AND DEFINING STRATEGIES FOR REALISING NEW MEMBER STATES’ POTENTIALS IN TRANSPORT RESEARCH Ms Siân Evans New. Rail – Centre for Railway Research United Kingdom sian. evans@ncl. ac. uk Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Trans. NEW Coordinating and Support Action aimed at supporting transport research activities in the NMS Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Trans. NEW 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 countries 4 regional reports 4 mode evaluation reports 6 newsletters Other reports on Management issues and workshops, etc Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Trans. NEW covers all transport modes, including Aeronautics. Trans. NEW is assessing who is making a contribution to common transport research objectives such as: advancing competitiveness anticipating and responding to the socioeconomic and environmental challenges of the transport system promoting transport research SMEs Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Trans. NEW is clustering the research capacity results by five Activities. These are: 1. Greening – environmental impacts of transport and climate change 2. Enhanced integration of transport modes 3. Safety and Security 4. Transport system efficiency and Mobility 5. Competitiveness Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Objectives of Trans. NEW: 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 Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Methodology: Data collection from key researchers, country specific organisations in Universities and industry and transport-related projects Desk based research Questionnaire Data responses Interactive workshops Same process was used with SMEs Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Clustering: To cover large workload Trans. NEW is split into clusters of - 26 Regions/States; and modes of transport Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

NEW 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 Trans. NEW 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 Trans. NEW 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 - Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Access to reports: All reports are available to download from the Trans. NEW website at www. transnew. eu Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Interactive workshops Workshops are based on 2 topics Research capabilities and capacities workshops Research Opportunities workshops Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Research Capacities and capabilities workshops Trans. NEW 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 Trans. NEW digital voting sessions assess the transport research strengths and priorities of the audience Trans. NEW 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 Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Research Opportunities Workshops Trans. NEW 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 Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Objectives of this workshop is to: the ETNA project is a network of transport National Contact Points Trans. NEW and ETNA have a Cooperation Agreement to collaborate in bringing together transport research experts in such forums as this Trans. NEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Objectives of this workshop is to: encourage researchers to register on the Trans. NEW 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 Trans.
