ASSESSING, ANALYSING AND DEFINING STRATEGIES FOR REALISING NEW MEMBER STATES’ POTENTIALS IN TRANSPORT RESEARCH Ms Siân Evans NewRail – Centre for Railway Research United Kingdom sian.evans@ncl.ac.uk TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW Coordinating and Support Action aimed at supporting transport research activities in the NMS TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW started on 01 January 2010 and runs for 2 years to December 2011The project has 48 deliverables consisting of: Reports on each of the 26 countries 4 regional reports 4 mode evaluation reports 6 newsletters Other reports on Management issues and workshops, etc TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW covers all transport modes, including Aeronautics.TransNEW is assessing who is making a contribution to common transport research objectives such as:- advancing competitiveness- anticipating and responding to the socio-economic and environmental challenges of the transport system - promoting transport research SMEs TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
TransNEW is clustering the research capacity results by five Activities. These are:1. Greening – environmental impacts of transport and climate change2. Enhanced integration of transport modes3. Safety and Security4. Transport system efficiency and Mobility 5. Competitiveness TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Objectives of TransNEW:- Assess transport research capabilities- Foster cross border-integration- Create a database of transport research expertise based on the findings of the capability and capacity research - Promote SME’s active in transport research- Increase market uptake of funding TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Methodology:- Data collectionfrom key researchers, country specific organisations in Universities and industry and transport-related projects- Desk based research- Questionnaire- Data responses- Interactive workshopsSame process was used with SMEs TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Clustering:To cover large workload TransNEW is split into clusters of - 26 Regions/States; and - modes of transport TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009

Country reports:- Each country report follows the same format - Country reports focus on transport research state-of-the-art highlighting strengths and gaps in transport research- also includes SME’s TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Regional reports:- Country reports from the region are compared and contrasted the regional reports- These reports focus on Policies and Priorities; transport research potential and projects and recommendations from the research TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Mode Evaluation:- Country reports also incorporate mode specific research that becomes a dedicated mode evaluation report for each country and region TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
Access to reports:- All reports are available to download from the TransNEW website atwww.transnew.eu TransNEW Project - Brussels, February 2009
