This Task Force aims at working on the European Research Area concept (horizontal, governance, administrative and financial issues including instruments), committed to work together on the deepening of the ERA objectives in transport in order to adress the grand challenges and delivering some first thoughts concerning transport related research finally resulting into the DETRA project.
Key objectives of DETRA:
- Evaluate progress towards the realisation of the ERA in the transport sector.
- Identify strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of, and to, research in this domain and evaluate the specific barriers impeding the realisation of ERA.
