GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Studies and / or works on roads, rail-road terminals and multimodal logistics platforms related to:

• components of the Comprehensive road Network located in Member States which do not have a land border with another Member State as stipulated in Section 3 of Part III of the Annex of the CEF Regulation;
• improving road connections to maritime and inland ports and rail-road terminals as listed in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 only if rail access to/within the port does not exist, or it is not currently under construction, and as long as the project addresses a significant bottleneck;
• construction or upgrade of rail-road terminals as listed in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013, intermodal transport transhipment points and other publicly accessible multimodal logistics platforms located on/in proximity of the TEN-T Network, including connecting or siding tracks, power connections, electrification and adaptations for reduction of power use, vehicle and container waiting areas, adaptations for handling 740 m long trains, clean transhipment equipment for intermodal loading units based on a zero-emission fuel (e.g. electricity, hydrogen), specific equipment for rolling motorways and the transportation of semi-trailers by rail, upgrades of equipment that enable transhipment of new intermodal loading units, ICT equipment and applications improving interoperability, use of digital transport data or terminal handling such as photogates and automatic check-in and check-out equipment.

Works projects may include on-site renewable energy generation (synergetic element in accordance with Section 10.6 of the Work Programme), such as photovoltaic power plants, wind turbines etc. that is primarily used for example for activities in the terminal. Such synergetic elements must improve the socioeconomic, climate or environmental benefits of the project and may not exceed 20% of the total eligible costs of the project.
