On the occasion of the launch of Horizon 2020 some Member States are organising information sessions about the new programme for Transport Research, in particular on the funding opportunities it offers in 2014 and 2015.

They will be organised between the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014 with the involvement of representatives of the European Commission and of Member States.

The aim of the sessions is to to inform and prepare potential participants from the whole transport sector to answer the Calls. The programme include the presentation of priorities of Horizon 2020, the Work Programme 2014-15 in the field of Transport, and changes in rules of participation and funding aspects.
