Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat The transport system in September 2009 Added value, benefits and impact Trends, challenges and research questions are relevant at alle levels of public government The EU FP is focussing on technology development and demonstration with a strong focus on modalities. There is an added value in taking a transport system approach, focussing on interconnection between transport modes at hubs Existing ERA-NET cooperation is focussing on linking components of national programmes and removing barriers for transnational cooperation. This approach should be complemented by a political incentive for the development of a common vision, common perspectives and common roadmaps Other ideas about added value, benefits and impact?

Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat The transport system in September 2009 First reactions from other countries - 1 European Platform on Transport research (EPTR) and pre- meeting to PC Transport, 30 june 2009: ‘Joint programming’ is important if the whole of national programmes is compared to EU FP (Sweden and other countries) Clarification is needed to position ‘joint programming’ in relation to EU FP and ERA-NET, both on content as well as on process and procedures (Germany, France and other countries) ‘Joint programming’ is a starting point, but not yet clear enough as a concept for implementation (Sweden, Switserland, Spain and other countries indicated the need for close contact between national representatives in HLG and Transport programme committee) Focus and prioritisation of research questions is needed (Austria, Denmark, Finland and other countries)
