Event description: 

Transport Research Arena (TRA) 2008 will be a golden opportunity for EU road transport stakeholders and researchers to discuss new strategies, completing the process that began at Goteborg’s TRA 2006 of creating a true ‘European Road Transport Research Arena’.

Focused on 'integration', TRA 2008 will coincide with the implementation phase of the seventh EU Research Framework Programme (FP7), aimed at developing new technologies for greener, safer and smarter transport systems. And this work is now more pressing than ever; we can do more to save lives on our roads, ‘climate change’ demands an urgent response, and strong competition from abroad is challenging our position in the global road transport market.

TRA 2008 will bring together potential research partners with new ideas on how to answer these and other pressing challenges. Participants will include members of industry, transport users, NGOs, policy makers, EU Member States and other government delegations.
