Transport 2030 Programme

The aim of the programme is to support applied research and innovation in the transport sector. It is the successor to the popular Transport 2020+ programme, which also focused on safety and sustainability in transport or on transport automation and digitisation. Almost €2 billion will be allocated to transport research projects over the period 2023-2030.

The programme is aimed at anyone planning a project that has the potential to further new approaches, technologies and services leading to enhanced societal and economic benefits in the transport sector.

Again, a strong emphasis is placed on cooperation between businesses and research organisations. This will make it easier to put R&D results into practice.

The focus of the programme covers research and development across the whole transport system and all modes of transport.
