With ever more people and goods moving around the world in ever shorter timeframes, we need new and innovative transport solutions.

What could future transport look like? How can existing systems and infrastructure cope with the rising strain, be it road, rail, waterborne or cross-modal transport systems? Which are efficient and sustainable solutions to the arising questions on mobility issues? Research students and senior researchers from all over Europe are invited to enter their ideas.

Students should first submit a short abstract by 30 June 2015. Full ideas will need to be developed and submitted by 30 September 2015 (both students and senior researchers).

Concepts must be related to one of the Transport Research Arena (TRA) conference topics:

• Environment – Decarbonisation, Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
• Vehicles & Vessels Technologies, Design and Production
• Urban and Long-Distance People Mobility - Systems and Services
• Freight Transport and Logistics
• Safe, Secure and Resilient Transport Systems
• Transport Infrastructures
• Human Factors, Socio-Economics and Foresights
• Automation and Connectivity
• Enabling Environment for Innovation Implementation

A panel comprising experts from universities, research institutes and industry will evaluate the proposed concepts, and will determine the top 3 ideas per transport mode (road, rail, waterborne and cross-modality).The final winners will be awarded during a prestigious award ceremony at the Transport Research Arena (TRA) Conference 2016 in Warsaw.
