GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Part A:

Proposals are expected to demonstrate the financial and organisational support of the national authorities’ and a preliminary economic plan covering the additional funding needs. In order to ensure high political and strategic relevance, preference will be given to proposals involving Member States holding the Presidency of the European Union in year 2025, 2026 or 2027.

In line with previous TRA biannual conferences, the event should address the technological and industrial developments of the transport sector (road, rail, waterborne, aviation sectors and cross-modal aspects) providing a high level, future oriented perspective coming from politics, the industry and the research community, in response to Europe’s social needs and expectations.

Part B: The proposal is expected to go in line with the EU policy objectives for climate-neutral and environmentally friendly mobility:

• A competition for students and young researchers with the goal of stimulating the interest among young researchers/students in the field of transport;
• A competition for senior researchers in the field of innovative transport concepts based on results from EU-funded projects only.

The organisation of these awards should ensure high-quality competition and very good media coverage before, during and after the TRA conference, in line with previous editions (TRA Visions).
