ASSESSING, ANALYSING AND DEFINING STRATEGIES FOR REALISING NEW MEMBER STATES’ POTENTIALS IN TRANSPORT RESEARCH Ms Siân Evans NewRail – Centre for Railway Research United Kingdom sian.evans@ncl.ac.uk 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 2011The 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 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 Mobility 5. 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 atwww.transnew.eu TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Interactive workshops Workshops are based on 2 topicsResearch capabilities and capacities workshopsResearch Opportunities 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 2011Presentations from this workshop are available at: www.transnew.eu TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
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
