The Task Force on Accelerating the Innovation Uptake for Sustainable Transport is organising an online event to present and discuss the ‘Call for Actions to support uptakes of Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects’ outcomes’. This one-hour webinar will take place on Wednesday 15 March 11:00-12:00 (CET). 

The EU-funded research and innovation projects in the transport sector have played an important role in advancing innovations, accelerating digitalisation of the sector, reducing emissions and pollution, improving efficiency and strengthening competitiveness. Although dissemination and exploitation have always been an important part of R&I projects, it has been noted that not all project outcomes have been exploited and, eventually, expected societal impacts may not be delivered.  

To address this issue, the Task Force calls on all project beneficiaries, associations with interests in the Horizon Europe Programme and European Commission to take action in supporting the uptake of R&I project outcomes to realise the full potential of innovation in the transport sector.  

Registration is not required. Join the online event here.
