Participation of HUNgarian and POLish Surface
TRANSport Research Organisations To FP6

• Aleksandra Buczkowska-Garbarczyk

General objectives of HUNPOL-TRANS correspond to
objectives of SSA projects

• contribution to the development of ERA in surface
  transport
• increasing participation of surface transport
  research organisations from Hungary and Poland
• renewing enthusiasm in Europe for science and
  technology regarding surface transport
• to catalyse researchers
• boosting Europes competitiveness with
  sustainable growth
• strengthening and expanding cooperation among old
  and new member countries
• facilitating cooperation with countries outside
  EU
• supporting Joint European Technology Initiatives

3
Specific objectives

• to assess situation and perspectives in Hungary
  and Poland with respect to surface transport
  (road, rail and waterborne)
• to select most active RTD units (including
  centres of excellence) from the surface transport
  sector in Hungary and Polnad and other EU
  countries
• to define their profiles strengths, weaknesses
  and needs
• to organise a series of profiled workshops
  adapted to real needs of participants
• to identify IPs and NoEs that fit with the needs
  and plans
• to encourage participants to become surface
  transport evaluators or experts monitoring
  project progress and to make it possible for the
  representatives of the European Commission to
  meet the potential evaluators and experts
• to promote constructive international networking
  and partnership in the areas of surface transport
• to facilitate access of Hungary and Polish
  organizations to European Technology Platforms

WP 1 Target group

• To identify suitable science and research
  organisations interested in the Surface transport
  programme.
• To define organisations competencies profiles.
  The set of organisations and researchers
  competencies and skills will be exploited for
  database on research potential in ACC
• To classify target groups and select a set of
  activities for each of the target groups

WP 2 IPs and NoE identification

• To make available the information concerning
  current IP/NoE and STREPs projects and project
  initiatives mainly for research organisations
  from ACC (the consortium will spread this
  information to the other ACC).
• To create stable structure facilitating further
  co-operation between MS and ACC.

9
WP 3 Conferences, seminars brokerage

• To perform introductory seminars for prospective
  newcomers to Framework Programme
• To provide about 2x150 of participants of the
  Call Conference with information on the current
  matters relating to the implementation of Surface
  transport priority.
• To initiate consortia creating process by
  facilitating direct contacts between ACC and MS
  researchers and organisations (brokerage and
  visits)
• To renew the enthusiasm in Europe for surface
  transport science and surface transport
  technology

10
Surface Transport Days 11-12 April 2005, Warsaw

• The Conference addresses these central issues
• Presentations of last 6th Frameworks calls for
  surface transport with participation of European
  Commission representatives. This session will
  concentrate on Research Areas available for
  project submission
• Brokerage meetings with aim of consortia
  creation. First part of this session will include
  new project ideas presentation by participants
  looking for new partners. We encourage you to
  participate actively and submit your project idea
• Forum for Young Researchers with opportunity to
  share new ideas and results from masters and
  doctors thesis with peers and more experienced
  researchers. We invite young researchers to
  contact us to agree their participation

11
Surface Transport Days 11-12 April 2005, Warsaw

• Workshop on general aspects, strategies, legal
  and financial aspects, partnership issues for
  beginners to Framework Programmes
• Session on intermodality in transport with
  participation of Polish Surface Transport
  Technology Platforms (Waterborne, Railway and
  Road) enabling contacts establishment
• Poster session - posters of innovative
  technologies for surface transport or proposals
  for new projects
• Presentations of successful people and successful
  projects as well as new IP and NoE co-ordinators
  looking for partners to join their projects.

WP 3 Conferences, seminars brokerage

• TRANSPORT CONFERENCEBUDAPEST, HUNGARY19 - 20
  May, 2005
• The event will include an Infoday on current
  information within Surface Transport Priority,
  Brokerage Event aiming at facilitating the
  creation of consortia, with participation of
  special guests from several countries and a
  Workshop on identifying and contacting partners,
  on the evaluation process and administrative
  rules. A plenary forum is held to renew
  enthusiasm in Europe for science and technology
  and within that, Surface Transport research,
  providing a platform for idea presentations for
  transport projects and Forum for young
  researchers.

WP 4 Partner search tool - database for
researchers and research organisations

• The internet database will be created for
  researchers and research organisations for
  surface transport sectors (road, rail,
  waterborne) in Hungary and Poland. The database
  will comprise information on competencies,
  scientific experience and skills.
• The second database will reveal product category,
  technology area. The database will ease search
  for partners submitting REQUEST for a partner for
  a joint project or one may submit a technology
  OFFER. An Expression of Interest will also be
  incorporated into the database.
