The selected projects cover all transport modes - air, rail, road, waterborne transport - as well as cross-cutting priorities: green solutions for urban transport, development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), logistics and infrastructure improvements.
All 75 projects were selected under two calls for project proposals: Mobility for Growth and Green Vehicles.
Two more sub-calls for project proposals just closed in the area of Mobility for Growth, and one call in the area of Green Vehicles will open for submissions on 24 June 2015. There will be further funding opportunities for research and innovation projects in the field of transport, please visit the Participant Portal for more information.
The projects are each implemented by a consortium of European partners. The Innovation And Networks Executive Agency (INEA) will monitor their progress throughout the project life-cycle.
Overall, €6.3 billion have been earmarked for Transport Research in Horizon 2020, the main EU's funding programme for the period 2014-2020.
