Future Transport

CORDIS, the Community Research and Development Information Service, has recently launched its new online Transport service with extensive information on all matters relating to the Transport theme of the Seventh Framework Programme and its aim to develop safer, greener and smarter transport systems for Europe that will benefit citizens, respect the environment, and increase the competitiveness of our industries in the global market.

This service includes latest developments, events and funding opportunities plus a ‘find a project’ database across five separate sections: Aeronautics and Air; Road research; Rail research; Waterborne; and Multimodal transport.
Meanwhile, the European Commission is surveying opinions on the CIVITAS Initiative and the needs of cities to achieve more sustainable, clean and energy efficient urban transport systems. Results of the survey will be summarised in a recommendation report which should influence the future supportive role to be played by the Commission in terms of developing integrated policy and technology measures and funding mechanisms.
