Online Workshop on Identifying R&I priorities in Logistics
Have your say and influence next Horizon Europe Innovation Programme of Logistics: Join us in this online workshop!
For all stakeholders interested in R&I in logistics, particularly those who work on public funded R&I projects
10:00 – 12:00 (CEST) Tuesday October 26th 2021
Since 2014, ALICE, as the Logistics European Technology Platform, has played an active role in supporting European Commissions in defining topics and innovation funding schemes (Horizon 2020 and now Horizon Europe) to support the logistics sector collaborative innovation. Following successful contributions to Work Programs of Horizon 2020, ALICE continues its efforts to gather priorities on freight transport and logistics engaging in discussions with EU research and innovation funding officers.
The BOOSTLOG project, a 3 year project funded by the EU through HORIZON 2020, is supporting ALICE in this process for the upcoming Horizon Europe Work Programmes 2023-2024. The BOOSTLOG consortium has carried out an online questionnaire survey from July – September 2021. The survey results has indicated priorities in the European freight transport and logistics R&I ecosystem. We would like to invite you to join the workshop to validate the priorities we identified and to form recommendations for next calls.
Discussions at this workshop will help ALICE to form concrete recommendations to the EU Research & Innovation Programmes 2023-2024 within Horizon Europe.
